Heartbreaking movie that tells of what the 'real' world looks like

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2016)

Life isn't great and we all know it but you carry on and make it great and dream big and work hard till you get to the top That's what we are always told but the truth is it doesn't always work
Inspired by a true person the movie tells of a week inside the cruel and miserable life of an unknown bar musician
Llewyn Davis was talented and had the potential to be something in the music industry but we all know that it doesn't always work out for a great potential He suffers everyday he doesn't have any money, no place to stay, no work and everything seems to be getting from bad to worse for the young guy
The Coen brothers tell the truth in this that not always you end up being Eminem and their incredible directing brought this deep and dark story to life What is weird about this is the storytelling which is great by the way as it tells of a week only in his life just to know the nature of his life and this isn't your normal protagonist who always end up being a winner
Llewyn Davis isn't someone trying to make it big, he is just trying to make it
Oscar Isaac just nailed this and the up and rising actor deserved some recognition at least if not an Oscar nomination but as of now he is one of the best rising stars and he is primed to be a 'winner' Oscar nominated actress Carey Mulligan had a brilliant role in this just as she always does
The Coens' screenplay make this 'hard' journey lighter with their always not explained black comedy
The best thing about this one is the dark cinematography and music that seems as faded as Llewyn Davis' life
Overall it was great but the thing is the story it tells it just isn't usually being made to movies maybe because they're trying not to be negative but this isn't negative, it just is life So wake up from your dream and live it as it is and of course dream big but always remember that this could be the outcome This one has been incredibly hailed by critics
