That Silencio Scene, Oh!

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2006)

The Silencio scene is a microcosm for the more general force of the movie, its dream-like quality, dream in the double sense, the one sense being as opposed to wakefulness and the other sense being as a deep wish, fantasy, or longing------------that beautiful song being artificial, and then just the virtuosic job of presenting the dream-like quality, the fact that certain actors were cast to look like Naomi Watts, and how iconic some of the characters and places are, as far as characters go I will refer you especially to Mimi I think her name is, the women that manages the apartment complex Naomi is living in. And then the end, that last shot with the faces of the two women staggered and the music and Naomi smiling, glowing, that incandescent smile.
