epic makeups and costumes will undoubtedly claim accomplishment in Oscar

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2012)

Six different timeline stories bridging from nineteenth century to faraway post-apocalyptic future. Parallel portray of all stories prolongs carrying concept of afterlife and human journey to eternity for justifying the vision--"Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others." Wachowski Broz, along with Tom Tykwer, cast an stunning direction by using the outstanding novel to set a visionary and philosophical plot. Each dialogue made me ponder its depth, its connotation. Complex and mind-groping script plays with thoughts regarding basic human instincts---love, greed, treason, fear, bravery, salvation. Marvelous cinematography with whimsical score surpasses all dark complexions and complexities. Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Jim Broadbent, Jim Sturgess, Hugh Grant and so forth--exquisitely adapt multiple (positive/negative) roles in various timescales in variant genders. Their epic makeups and costumes will undoubtedly claim accomplishment in Oscar. I've already watched 3 times at a stretch and each time my wonder becomes an abyss more and more ;))) Surely this year's best essence to me :DD___
