Freakshow

Rating: 5/10 (16 August 2011)

Well, this film is much different from the most. The story is very original and well thought, but I don't think it was well executed. The director doesn't seem to be capable to provoke any emotions in the spectator until the last 20 minutes, which for a drama film, is a shame. The things happen too randomly and non-sense until around 70 minutes of running, which made me very bored and lost in the story. The soundtrack isn't touching neither deep, so the film isn't comedy, isn't drama, isn't anything! Also, this is a much improbable show, since no decent country would have laws to allow it. Also, tying yourself in the boat isn't very smart, since the boat could turn upside down and you'd drown to death.
It is surely filled with philosophical thoughts and questions, but they do not seem to fit in the film. The only things that made me happy are the last minutes, the originality and the cute old lady's couple lol. I think "The Truman Show" is one of the famous called "overrated" movies. A remake of this with a better director and cast would be reasonable and exciting-- at least for me.
