Truly Moving Picture

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2008)

I have an absolute no idea when I go in to watch this movie, all I know it that it got nominated for Oscar and BAFTA, so that the reason I went in for. And by the end of the movie I was blown away, this is a truly beautiful and moving picture.
Synopsis: Briony, 13 years old girls fell in love with her elder sister boyfriend couldn’t stand them together so decide to accuse him of raping her cousin. This incident changes the lives of everyone forever.
I really love the story here, it was wonderful. Though quite slow here and there I don’t really get bored by it. I think the pace was just right. Only problem was that I don’t see much of Robbie and Cecilia romance. I wish there were more of them.
Well as for the acting wise, the casting of James McAvoy is the best thing in this movie, he is utterly awesome, Keira Knightley only adds stardom to the movie but didn’t hold a candle compare to James. Saoirse Ronan also did a pretty good job, so do the rest of the cast actually, its all balance.
As for direction, damn this guy is getting better and better. This is his second main stream movie and it still came out this good, damn he is good. Maybe he will be the next Sam Mendes. I also really like the part where the director tried to show us different angle from each characters so that we can understand their vision more. The movie also consists of brilliant score, and cinematography and lighting.
Overall, I enjoy the movie from it’s begin to the very end. Oh I love the ending. I love almost everything in this movie maybe just a few bit of scenes that are quite unattached, but overall it was brilliant.
Recommendation: Yes, Buy The DVD!!!
Reason to Watch: Almost Everything About It.
Reason Not To: Hard To Understand English Accent??.
