Un Chef d'oeuvre

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2020)

This is my absolute favorite movie of all time. And many people make fun of me when asking what is my favorite movie and I reply War of the Worlds. But it is. And it has been for many years. The only one that can compete is Interstellar I'd say
Why do I like it so much? The EMOTIONS. THE EMOTIONS people. I love science fiction movies, aliens movies but in many of them, it is not realistic or a lot of them focus on important people, the government, the president. If the story line is based on following a family either we have the badass mum or the badass dad or some super smart kids afraid of nothing, that knows everything and do everything at the right moment, the right time. Tadaaaa -.- In this movie, I find the people reals, authentic and people that feels and because you can relate or identify yourself so well that you live the story 100%.
Cruises plays the role of a divorced dad that does not have the best relationship with his kids. Justin Chatwin is a typical teenager that does not like his dad full of resentment and Dakota Fanning a cute and independent & stubborn little girl. They are not the smartest, they don't have power but they are real and they are all such good actors. I like the way how through the drama they fight and love each other. And in this situation they protect each other, understand each other, forgive. I like the relation between Raphel and Robbie. How Rachel find so much comfort in her brother and how Robbie is so protective and loving.
I am not even talking about the aliens that we actually SEE. An aliens movie that shows us the aliens inside and out! Mr Spielberg, thank you so much for the best movie I ever watched. I loved every second of it.
