Dazzling

Rating: 7/10 (31 July 2015)

The crowning jewel of the movie was the female heroine Ilsa. She has a Swedish father and grew up in Sweden. Her mother is English and moved to Sweden when she was 25. I also personally found it interesting when the people in the "torture chamber" spoke in a foreign language that sounded Norse, and that included Ilsa. She had a good British accent, as well. I know from experience that Nordic people often are big and stocky and tall and fair. I think it is the people from the Netherlands that are probably thinner-appearing. I've also learned from experience that Nordic people possess a certain air about them which can be described as "calm, cool, and collected." They seem at one with the land, which is cool and easy.
The reason I went in and watched this time was because the 1st time I ran into it was walking to a movie theater using a printed map from in my college dorm room in 2006 for MI:III, which was big at the time. I heard the loud theme music leaving the theater as the last crowd left the little theater. It sounded like an organ from where I was and very cool. I went in to watch but am not used to things like choosing to see Star Wars and knowing about Pirates of the Caribbean, which I heard was good and became obsessed about. So, I left the theater soon after it started and headed "home."
Another reason this title may deserve a 7 is because the acting was so smooth and really made a positive statement and seemed rather productive. The actors all seemed to have intelligent vibes. They are older than me, so it makes me wonder about it.
I read the synopsis in advance and checked out some of the actors because I knew I would be at a loss for what was going on. It helped a lot, but I was able to focus and know some of what was going on in the movie, anyway, tho still not a lot.
I think other than that there is a female this should be "Tom Cruise's movie." I probably did not catch all that a lot of people did, but he was definitely very nice, friendly, considerate, hopeful, generous even, etc.
I think the motley group of guys in this is very well together and extremely positive, intelligent, and alert. They were cute, as well.
To be honest, you'd see this movie for a big hit not necessarily in your own realm of interest, which can be a hinted issue in the fact there is an opera in it to interest other groups. You know, it's like putting a Halloween pumpkin in a comic strip. I didn't really need to see it, but I like to see whatever's out. I learned most from the Swedish lady and enjoyed how well together the men were.
