Back to the future

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2015)

Quite a surprising film, i figured out the ending half way through the movie. They don't really make movies like this any more, like a painted canvas that tells a story, where you see something new each time you look at it. It also has layered all sorts of themes and story. Very much like literature, "the godfather" was like that. This movie had some cgi in it but it was used to push the narrative forward not the narrative itself. Reminds me of the movie from the 30s to the early 60s. Where the film just told a story usually about the human condition. No car crashes, zombies, capes etc..i used to walk out of the theatre back then and wonder that film was just about a man and woman talking ala "of human bondage",vertigo. It takes a lot of work to keep ones attention to keep watching when it is only a snapshot in the life of a little boy during wartime. There was paper towel times, i came away grateful that the world has more or less been in peace for this long period. Better then rom-com regardless of the ending much of the had sadness and reluctant hopefulness. Good movie.
