Up with your dream

Rating: 8/10 (30 October 2017)

Up demonstrates the importance of creativity, vision, intention, and especially the power of commitments made with like-minded spirits. The love Carl and Ellie felt for each other was palpable throughout the movie even without words, just music. Their love included trials and tribulations, including a child lost mid-pregnancy, which helped evoke a full spectrum of emotion around the theater.
Ellie becomes sick and dies, leaving Carl, now an older man named Mr. Fredricksen, to live their adventure solo. He works to keep Ellie's spirit alive for himself with photos, scrapbooks, memorabilia, and imagined conversationsâ€”the same creative play that first brought them together.
