Simply Perfect
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
This movie, completely changed my life. The most inspiring story.
The film has touched me like no other film has ever done, and I never fail to be deeply moved every SINGLE time I watch it. Ethan Hawk, Uma Thurman, Jude Law, and the others, under the guidance of the director, having this great fiction so wonderfully rendered, I'm simply lost for words to express how deeply I LOVE this movie. A man, with all its flaws, against all those huge adversity and ill fate, strives to reach his dream, without any reservation. I believe every one shares some of that desperate spirit of Vincent. As for me, I'm Vincent.
This ingenious and intricately plotted story brings to mind the motto of the few who flew in former days. Truly gripping and romantic. A genetically challenged adventurer, Ethan Hawke, who has been randomly conceived, inspires his alter ego, a failed suicide played by Jude Law, to make a success of his death. It is relatively easy to eliminate racism. But the problem discussed in this film is how do you eliminate competition ? Astronauts compete for their place on a space crew. How could they not ? The answer proposed by this stylish story appears to be that they should cheat. It's only in Wonderland that everyone is given a prize for running in a caucus race, presumably all hitting the finishing tape in a dead straight line.However the tale is stimulating, moving and touching. Uma Thurman presents an unusually beautiful and elegant presence. The sets are highly stylish: neo-Corbusier buildings, with personnel reminding me of the pictures of Magritte. The crew prepare for their launch wearing double-breasted suits, neatly worn shirts and ties. Ernest Borgnine appears in a downbeat role. Gore Vidal is a skittish heavyweight. It is disconcerting that the final urine test is not automated, and approval is left to an old-fashioned human factor. While it is possible that Vincent will not return from his Titanic excursion, he may nevertheless have left a little ex-genetically engineered souvenir on his home planet.
I saw this movie some 7 years ago and it set an incredible special ambient into my mind. It is a movie that sets your mind thinking about genetic selection. Even after so many years I get the CD from my movie collection and watch it again. It's a film house type movie just like the Bi centennial man.
