Perfect characterizations.

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2008)

At the end of the film I noticed that I was not feeling any emotional burden of anger or outrage that is normally associated with movies full of nasty characters giving our heroes a hard time. There was just a feeling of humbleness and tranquility. I wondered why and then realized that there was not one nasty character in the whole movie, (yes, the ultrasound technician came across with a streak of nastiness only because of her ignorance). I mean, ever character had flaws, like all of us who just stumble through life in hope of getting to the other end of it all, where ever it is! The success of this movie came down to the brilliant written characters and their portrayal by a superb cast. The writer respected each and every character and gave them a life of their own. This could not have been achieved by the perfect choice of casting.
