I'm completely in awe . . .

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 1999)

I never fully understood the common critic words "breath-taking," until I saw this movie. It is absolutely beautiful and everything seems to be painted beautifully. This movie is true to itself. "The Red Violin" is a good example of a movie that proves that movies don't need to have the added action, computer generated objects, and big-time movie stars to get the audience's approval. This is a story of a violin who begins an incredible journey in the hands of a violin maker in the 17th century, all the way to the present day. The impact the violin has and the story it tells is so passionate, emotional, and moving as it makes its mark throughout time.
"The Red Violin," plays on a good note. I am pleased a movie has been made that depicts true story-telling. It has been a week since I have seen this movie and I am still bestowed in utter awe.
