Excellent Movie - Broadened Imagination

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2011)

Marc Forster deserves all the credits and plaudits for making such a beautiful movie. It could have won the academy award for best film which it lost to Million Dollar baby.
Set upon nineteenth century, the movie is about a married playwriter who struggles to impress the critics and when he meets a widow and her four sons he took a liking to the boys and started playing with them by broadening their imagination. And gradually he finds a great plot for his play.
Johnny Depp could have easily won the Oscar too ( which he lost to Jamie Foxx for "Ray"). Kate Winslet is also at her best. Dustin Hoffman and Julie Christie plays their respective roles brilliantly.
The movie is unimaginatively wonderful.
