Better Late Then Never

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The low rating of this film come from the people who do not properly understand the many interpretations of it. Haggis presents a writer who is struggling to deal with the death of his infant son. He begins composing a story focusing on the characters circumstance (example: James Franco's character being a rich artist, The american guy being a spy etc) to distance himself from it. But as the film goes on the audience is again again questioning is this real? Due to the seemingly non-existent connection to the set of characters we are led to believe they are connected by just a piece of paper. However at the end when Liam Neeson is chasing after Oliva Wilde and she becomes the other characters we realise that Liam's character has created this to help him cope. Trust is a theme throughout, that is again and again touched upon but rounds up to at the end as being the colour white. Wilde's white dress, the milk the end, the flowers. In my opinion, Liam Neeson's character Michael sets himself up in different scenarios to safely explore what is would be like if a) he had cheated but his child hadn't died. b) He tried to forgive himself resulting in him losing everything. All in all it was a great movie up for interpretation, I particularly enjoyed the explosive relationship between Micheal and Anna.

NO SPOILER the amazing series of event of the three stories of those people who have complicated relationships between ending it forever or abandoning the partner of the relationship , always with a victim in between , victim in the shape of child ... all these characters will end in a strange way by the Michael ( Liam Neeson ) which play the leading role as a novel writer . the movie sends a messages through the scenario or the actors and the brilliant director , play a role to show a social problem

This movie had Paul Haggis' fingerprints all over places but not in the good ways. Paul just extended or limited his creativity around his signature paralleling various story lines then weaving into a monstrosity of who knew what. His Oscar winning film Crash by far is his best of this type of movies as a director. He is a better screen writer than director in my opinion.His talent was the reason to draw those A-list actors and actresses to this movie. However, he lost the focus of the main topic which I am not sure it's about love any more. He applied coincidences way too often to make the whole film congregated naturally. I wish he would not have tried so hard. And the part of revealing Olivia Wilde's character's incest relationship with her father was probably the most appalling and over the top in the entire story. I do not object to use hard subjects in films if only if they would serve the right purpose. This one was out of place except serving as a shocking element. Anyway, I wish to see Haggis' films other than this type in the future. I hope he could extend his writing skill to his directing field.

Third Person (2014) is written and directed by Paul Haggis, the award-winning filmmaker who, in 2006, became the first screenwriter to write two Best Film Oscar winning films back-to-back, Million Dollar Baby (2004) directed by Clint Eastwood, and Crash (2005) which he directed himself. Liam Neeson plays a 50-ish Pulitzer-Prize winning writer, Michael, who has left his wife (Kim Basinger) and is holed up in an elegant Paris hotel room, attempting the new novel that will resurrect his failing career. Constantly writing and editing, Michael struggles with his book. As we watch him write, some of his conversations appear verbatim on his computer. Here we may be wondering whether we are viewing fragments of his novel come alive or whether his writing is more nonfiction than one would think. In the end, the viewers get a glance at everything taken place. The ending is well done as it can interpreted in several different ways.
