Personally, I think the story portrayed in this film is quite interesting, and there is some excellent acting to be seen (Firth and Hoult in particular). However, it must be qualified that this film was visually designed. Every frame is styled and co-ordinated, worthy of a photograph. It seems as if every palette, every colour was individually selected, and chosen to be displayed. The emotions of the protagonist are ingeniously displayed in unapologetic clarity by varied colour tones, with his moods corresponding to a scale from grey to warm.

The story progresses to an ending which, I must admit, I am still undecided upon. From one point it can be seen as a complex end to a difficult tale, and yet from the opposite it seems oversimplified and almost rushed. That aside, the conclusion does little in terms of deducting from the overall quality and appearance of the film. This has to be the most visually stunning film I have ever seen. I look forward to re-watching it and savouring every still.

My goodness, G! To tell you the truth, I was totally unaware of the nuances of how the director made me feel these feelings. I loved the film so much, and now that you have written this, I'm going to watch it AGAIN! BTW, I loved the ending. I thought it was perfect... but that's just me. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm honored that i inspired you to watch it again! Thanks for the comment
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what happened in the end. He locked the gun in a drawer and took out the key and then please tell me what happened - all of a sudden he was lying on the floor.
