Reaper's RANTS & Rea-Views

This will probably be the shortest blog I ever write. The bottom line here, GO SEE THIS FILM. If you have not seen this film by now, it is safe to say after slitting your wrists, you should proceed to jumping off a bridge (figure of speech) because you are missing out on one of the BEST films I have seen in my life. This is coming from  a Film Major and just all around movie buff. This film is “Poetry In Motion.” Everything from the actors, the acting, the editing, the continuity, the story, the music by Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight, Lion King, Da Vinci Code, Gladiator) the ending, everything. My favorite part is *SPOILER ALERT* toward the end when the girl tells everyone that will “ride the kick” all the way to the top after they went deeper into the dream than ever before. As they woke up, the editing literally showed the “ride the kick” and wake up from each dream sequence all the way to the original place where they started. The way the director and editors turned the dialogue was turned into something visual was the reason of this being my favorite part. The only thing about this film I did not like was the van falling in the water and how they continued to splice it in over and over. There was no need for this. Until told otherwise or the van is shown hitting the water, the audience can assume that it is still falling. There was no need to keeping showing that about 6 or 7 times. Because of that, this film falls just short of perfection. *SPOILER ENDED* In conclusion, PLEASE go see this film. This is the film of the Summer. This is the Best Film of the Year so far. If you can only see one film this entire year, make sure it is Inception.
