oh it gets dark,it gets lonely on the other side from you...

Rating: Null/10 (7 January 2002)

I saw this movie last night here in Asunción,and the audience really got scared!,some of them jump from their seat and scream!, Iloved the eerie claustrophobic atmosphere in the film...this is a very stylish,very classy picture...Nicole Kidman restraint performance is just wonderful, she goes from opposite poles: some times rigid and histerical,other times delicate and emotional,she breaks like a porcelain doll,oh well, maybe because she is impossible beautiful like Catherine Deneuve in "Repulsion"(maybe Amenábar saw this film),but Nicole looks like Grace KELLY, IT WAS NOT A COINCIDENCE that her name in the film is "Grace".If actresses like Julia Roberts and Gwyneth Paltrow won Oscars maybe such a"corny award" is not made for a REAl talented actress, then Nicole has little chance next March...if she is understimated from the academy WE SHOULD LOVE HER MORE! right?,and that girl who play her daughter "anne"(Alakina Mann)in the film,she is magnificent!,when she appears we forget that boy who saw "dead people". Definitly "the Others"is a great "ghost movie",like in literature Wuthering Heights represents a great gothic/tragical story...it echoes Kate BUSH when she sings " Heathcliff,it's me, Cathy come home I`m so cold,let in-a-your window"...that break our hearts.
