Deep, deep, deep

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2013)

Wachowskis' are terrific in movie-making... this is a movie where you see the art of direction at its prime... the script is as solid as a rock, though a little dust falls off, and the acting from the veterans is mesmerizing... Tom Hanks and Jim Broadbent have delivered variety of characters in this movie... these two are outstanding and I think my level of respect for this movie would be different if some of Tom Hanks or Jim Broadbend were not part of it...
The only thing I may complain about it is the interconnectivity of a couple of eras not that much convincing as it should have been... the best co-relation is found between the last two eras as well as the impact of Cavendish's life on Son-mi... that's it...
In my attempt to read between the lines, I sense that the author of the book is not a Christian, or at least definitely not a Christian of the sense we have all developed these days. I perceive Son-mi, being worshiped as a goddess in the final era, is demonstrated as a holy figure as Jesus Christ or any other who have been and are worshiped by a common man in oblivion of the fact that those 'deities' were humans, but time and folklores erased their humanly attributes and conceived them to be gods... the loftiness of a human character is defined by his / her acts, and yet we have to keep their actions and mottoes in view and not turn them into deities...
