Intriguing film !!! Absolutely fabulous !!

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2007)

I saw it one night at home, alone with my thoughts and just like I expected - it was fabulous.
(Especially) Hugh Jackman (damn it, why hasn't he an Oscar standing at home ??), but also Rachel Weisz (-very strong personality-) make a stunning performance ! I haven't seen Jackman show such a great deal of emotion before.
As for the plot, magnificent ! This film is NOT for the narrow-minded among us. Im totally furious that a lot of critics have besmirched this movie. But yes, let's not beat around the bush - the film is (absolutely) not made for an audience whose spiritual level is as high like that of a spoon. I've heard of so many people talking bad about the movie, just because of the fact, that they probably didn't even bother to make up their minds. Yes, it is a thought-provocing movie ! But that doesn't mean, that it has no sense and deeper meaning. And so I've come to the point why I love this film so much. I stopped watching it at 3 o clock in the morning and as I went to bed millions of thoughts were running through my head. The more time passed, the more I began to find my way around all those ways of this great, great labyrinth. Yes, I personally felt myself more enlightened as I already am...
And this is one of the things that makes a good movie - the fact, that even after a week the meaning of the story can show its colours to me. Or that I see something totally different every time I watch this movie.
So, please people, don't go and watch this movie heads full of bad comments, but with an opened mind, with no expectations. For if so, the end and its meaning will really pierce your heart...and you will be grateful for it :)
