Poor narration. Overrated.

Rating: 4/10 (29 December 2011)

Well, I had high hopes of this movie before getting all set to finally watch this. The theme is great. The outline is impressive, but the narration is below par, lifeless at times.
Certain characterizations seem rather too much to agree to a country where minimum freedom is a comfort. Wiesler, the mysterious soul of the movie fails to impress doing deeds that makes no sense to the situation and really doesn't give a reality touch to his action since he had duly seen n dealt with the predicaments and difficulties there.
Ending really touches. But, for what it's worth, it can be applauded vaguely as a non creative drama. Academy award? really?
