Never were words and music so Powerful

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 1999)

Never were words and music combined so beautifully and powerful. "The Red Violin" is about a legend that takes you through time.

Its story begins when the violin is made by a violin maker, as it gradually travels around the world for centuries till the present. Each individual who becomes emotionally and musically involved with this violin, tells a story that captures the heart of the audience. I mean really captures the heart; it moves it, destroys it, and provokes it.
The violin represents that one perfection that everyone strives for. The conflict is what do you do with it once you have it and how does this perfection effect you.
There are some things in this world that are priceless that just can't be explained unless you've experienced it. "The Red Violin" is exactly that. This movie makes your emotions and mind think; unlike many movies that do the thinking for you. It makes you want to value things more and it shows you utter Beauty. If there was anything more than beauty, this movie would be it.
It makes you wonder why Titanic got best picture. Although this movie was made a year ago, I'm pretty sure this is a movie we will see at the Oscars; if the Academy keeps its eye open. If I could, I'd give this movie infinite amount of stars.
