Awestruck

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2006)

The slack jawed yokels of America and the world might not get it, the critics might not get it. The movie is interpretive and until there is a definitive director's cut and commentary maybe the exact message can not be deciphered. Regardless the movie is visually amazing especially with the budget and as a work of art, art mind you, the film works on that level. Is there more power in something that leaves you thinking, I believe so. I am a visual artist myself and in that respect this is what a artist can do with a movie. This is a believable love story and I left it wishing I had something similar in my life. This film deserves more attention, but I think that those who can truly appreciate it are in the minority.
