"By fire and by knife, enternally this world advances"

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2018)

"By fire and by knife, enternally this world advances". These are the brutal words by which a famous Greek poem/song describes to its main character how our world works.
These are also the exact words and feelings that came to my mind after watching this film. 2 characters that will do whatever it takes to be the favourite/prevailing one.
In one of the last scenes, where Rachel Weisz reveals her true self and love by admitting that love means being sometimes inpolitely honest, the film brilliantly presents to us our true nature. We very often misjudge, hold grudges, do not want to accept reality. And off course (we) people take advantage of each others flaws and imperfections. In the end we have to live with our decisions; in many cases not satisfied and depressed by them (last scene).
In summary, this film gives us a taste of reality in an absurb sureal way. And this is why it is a great movie.
Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz and Olivia Colman are simply amazing.
I would totally recommend people to watch "The Favourite"
