A Perfect Movie
After reading some of the previous reviews, I found myself wondering if we'd seen the same movie. I loved it! Everything about it was wonderful. I thought the acting was fantastic, everyone was very well cast. There were quite funny parts during which I laughed out loud and a couple of times when I had to pause the movie to weep. I suppose I am a sentimental sap, but I wouldn't wish to be any other way. I guess it all depends on who you are, your personal beliefs and experiences, and where you are in your own life whether or not you'll truly feel this movie. I felt it to the depths of my soul. Although I am not, nor have ever been in the exact same situation as Frances, it is very easy to relate to her. There were moments when I felt the movie was made just for me. I thought one of the most beautiful parts of the movie is the relationship between Frances and Mr. Martini...the dialogue, the unspoken thoughts, the subtle physical gestures of the actors...wonderful. In summary, it has become one of my favourite movies. It reminds us that though we may feel trapped and that the world has caved in on us and we can't possibly bear the pain, life is still there to be lived, and yes, amazing things will happen even when we least expect them. God, I love this movie!!!
