The Rose Petals just took me by...

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2008)

Really this is one movie that very well deserves an Oscar. Kevin Spacey was mind blowing. Each and every element is very well designed and used. Sam Mendes has proved it once again. Alan Ball has gone one step further to narrate such a a story which seriously, just blew my mind. it was spec-ta-cu-lar. The performances of each and every actor was breathtaking. I really liked the Sound Design. if you will look closely to each soundtrack, each sentence has a meaning to what is happening at the present moment in the film. The Camera work is good and the shots would just take you on a high ride. But, the main thing that pulled me back and stuck me to my seat was the ANIMATION. I am myself into animation and have great interest in Special Effects. Even in 1999, the effects are awesome. my favourite part of the film is when Kevin is dreaming of Angela and we have Rose petals all around. Here ROSE is an element and that is the beauty of Sam Mendes. Creativity doesn't have any boundaries and this Movie explains that in a very Real Life story, perfectly. IT's JUST AMAZING.
