Beautiful... Just Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (20 October 2013)

This movie is amazing. From the beginning, to the end, the writing is well above average, and the musical accompaniment is great.
However, the one thing that stands out above all else is the acting. Perhaps the finest three performances I have ever seen in the industry propelled this movie to the top of my list for this decade so far. Logan Lerman is absolutely fantastic as Charlie, although he looks a bit old for the part. Emma Watson is perfect as Sam, and Ezra Miller is the perfect Patrick. The tension, and the coping, and the other underlying themes are all as fantastically portrayed as the characters themselves. You will feel everything that they do with the force of a train.
As with any film, there are differences between the book and the film, most notably the change of the tunnel song. However, the movie is still gorgeous, and the characters are so full and rich, that you can't help but feel with them.
I wanted to put in some comment about Slut and the Falcon, but I would probably just ruin the delivery, so I'll leave you to watch it instead.
