A brilliant display of emotions in war time with a different angle

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2012)

The film starts with the voice of Nicole kidman as ADA and the voice alone promised a lot. And to start with the complete movie I say a very nicely written screenplay and some very fine performances that I had recently seen. There were some moments in the starting when I felt sleepy but as the story progressed it started to show that it is a promising film. A girl saw a boy and both felt in love secretly with each. This might not be a new formula but was well made into a completely nice movie. The girl has to wait for the boy to return from the war. How the relationship got so close is the only part where something more had to be explored but nevertheless after that the movie picked up its pace and didn't made me feel like a time waste. Jude law is always good no doubt but I had never seen Nicole kidman performing so nicely. A completely new side had been explored in the movie regarding what a girl would do when she is waiting for someone in a war time. Many movies related to war been made and there are only a few who touch a completely different aspect and this movie made me remember of The Pianist. The things going on in the girl's life while waiting for her man were good. Another aspect was a number of twists at all times. The way they pictured the difficulties on his way home were very nice. Also when Ruby got in the movie everything seemed much smarter and interesting. She rightfully got the academy award for the best supportive role.
VERDICT: "A must watch film."
