Chaplin - then redemption.

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 2009)

I have watched many a Pixar animation but this takes some beating! I don't think, since WALL.E that is, that film goers have really appreciated the power silent montages can have on them. The first 15 minutes of the film alone deserves an award as it triggers many emotions within. A mans life is condensed with such purity and heart that instantly we are rooting for the character before he has even muttered a word. After this, we are taken on one of the most beautiful adventures ever to be told on film. I will not say to much about it, check it out for yourself! What I'm trying to say is that ''UP'' has so many messages about life, letting go, and making the most of your time whilst on your journey, that one scene in particular makes the film click! For those that have seen it you will know what I mean when ''Carl'' finally lets go of the past and offloads the ''dead wood'' A masterpiece, do yourself a favour and go SEE IT!
