The Age of Commercialism
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The acting in this movie is really good.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Now while I am neither a writer nor a poet as my other esteemed reviewers have been, I am someone who lives with the bare fact that, as my grandmother before me, I may one day end up as Irene. My grandmother died of dementia as well as other complications. When I saw this movie I was overwhelmed. Most movies out there partially ornament this disease or throw hero status on the role of the care givers and this movie does neither. It humanized the roles of all involved with this horrific disease rather than glamorized. I was emotional from beginning to end and as much as I love the 'Notebook' for it's endearing message of love, I believed it's message touched me more profoundly. Most of the 'Notebook' was about their before life and not the aftermath. I am a dreamer, a romantic but I am also a realist...need to be. With the thought always in my head that one day that could be me playing the real part of Irene, I need to be. I would recommend this movie to anyone dealing with Alzheimers and Dementia or about to deal with it. It isn't pretty, it isn't glamorous and it isn't easy. But this movie also showed that the human spirit is also stronger than any disease out there and that there is hope in the midst of hell. Bravo to all the writers, producers and cast for giving us true human nature on film rather than just humans in a movie about a disease. I would have given it more stars but I was only allowed 10.
This movie was the tale of such a heart touching story between two very in love people. The way they interacted gave me all the feels - from being turned on to desperately seeking my Kleenex. I can not believe i hadn't heard of it before coming across it in my public library. I think it beats the notebook and the titanic if not at least being in the same realm. Seriously, Kleenex. If you've ever felt like you needed a patriarchal point of view on family, then you wont be disappointed in the main characters portrayal of a husband and a father. You'll love his point of view on life and how to live it and you'll want to either be him or have him! Five star performance!!!
Well Boy what a turkey. I wish I could have pressed fast forward for 90% of this snooze-fest..but the remote control ( which is "still mine";) was lost or hiding from me harassing the fast forward button). I don't know what witchcraft studios use to flesh out movies but the weak plot could have been condensed into 5 minutes Elderly man decides his current abode simply wont do for his ailing trouble and strife. So out pops his hammer an i'm getting excited, Maybe he's about to kill anything that moves. But nooooo such luck. We don't all possess 2000 acres and a house to demolish because it might just need a lick of paint. Boringgggg.
This movie was under the radar on release. I love the actors and decided to watch it based on reviews on various sites. It is priceless. Though I can understand how it may not translate that well to a younger audience (and thus some of the low review scores). To really "get" this movie you need to be of a certain age - someone who can remember what it was like in the world 50 or more years ago. Before the age of rules and regulations gone mad and of bureaucracy which exists only for its own sake. My dad grew up on a farm in the 30s and I can see some of his life experiences through this film. Top notch acting and script, and a lot of subject matter to give the viewer something deep and meaty to chew on after the film is over.Anyone born before 1960 - this is a must view movie.
