Happiness is a simple thing...

Rating: 7/10 (6 April 2010)

This movie is about being happy...or knowing to be happy and acknowledge your happiness. It is also about ideals and how our Icarus need for adventure can drag us away from the ultimate purpose of all human being: being happy... Carl grow up in a silence, enjoins the household happiness of a wooden fairy-tale house alongside his pretty innocent image of a wife and partner...Carl and Ellie are lonely people in an absurd world that can never be understood on a stand alone basis, so their marriage is a protection against the existential angst...they are alone and happy...well, until her death, when the adventurous intrinsic nature of the human being took over, pressing Carl, now literally surrounded by a concrete world, to search the unknown and to settle the promise he made to his wife Ellie...
This film is a visual allegory of this struggle between domestic happiness and Icarus adventure and using Pixar genius imagery can transmit to the viewer a sense of emotion that will entwine the viewer with the characters...it is a permit to dream and , although sometimes sad and philosophical, this movie lets us in need to get out of the theater and LIVE.
