Entrancing

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2011)

I watched this film in my Portuguese class and I was amazed! I literally forgot that I was watching the movie in subtitles because I was so drawn in by the storyline. The story is told very well and even the parts that were easy to predict happened in a way that kept my attention. The movie starts out showing a scene in which Rocket thinks he is being chased, although the scene doesn't make sense until much later it introduces the most memorable quote in the movie: If you run they will chase you, if you stay they will eat you. After watching the movie the truth of this quote reigns supreme. The actors were amazing and it translated well to me even though it's a foreign film. I was happy to see that this movie received several Oscar nominations because it definitely deserved them. Job well done!
