Masterpiece of beauty

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2008)

From the first time I saw it, this film became my favorite, not only for its beauty or its message, but also for the quote of life in it. Once I read that your ultimate "favorites" (songs, TV series, movies) are those in which you can see yourself reflected, the ones about YOUR life. Well, this is MY favorite movie because I really mean it. Life for me has changed a lot these years, since 1999 everything has turned into something different, the thing I didn't know was that everything can change, but can continue being equally beautiful. Why I write all of these, well, last night I saw this movie again, after at least 4 years without even look at it, and I found it fascinating. It is not only amazingly well-done, it is also perfectly well-executed. The performances of Spacey and Benning are really touching, you can feel as she at one second, and as he at the other; you can really smell the quality of their acting, and suffer as you were them. The rest of the cast is incredible as well, you can really fear being an ordinary person with Suvary, or capture the beauty in life with Bentley. I truly recommend this movie principally because Mendes really did it, really realized a movie which made us look closer. An extremely well-production, captivating music and the most carefully ideal art direction constitute the cherry of this perfect cake of pure and simply beauty.
