This Month: Life Of Pi
 

 
Director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) creates an all-audience movie event about a young man on a fateful voyage who, after a spectacular disaster in the middle of the ocean, is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. He becomes marooned on a lifeboat he must share with the ship’s only other survivor, a fearsome Bengal tiger with whom he makes an amazing and unexpected connection.

“Ang Lee has turned Yann Martel’s ‘unfilmable’ fable of a shipwrecked zoo and the boy who survived 227 days at sea with formidable feline Richard Parker into one of the most spectacular cinematic events of the year. Full of wonder: heart-warming, awe-inspiring.”
Rosie Fletcher, Associate Editor

      This movie was light, refreshing and positive. A serious issue of struggling with disease has been presnted with an optimistic note of human support. Cheerful and uplifting.

      I really enjoyed it, it wasn't laugh out loud hilarious even if somebody in the cinema found loads of it absolutely hilarious, but there enough humour sprinkled through it to keep it being too heavy. Really well acted by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen, plus I think Anna Kendrick is a pretty amazing actress she was perfect in this.

      At the start of the film , the cinema was seventy-five percent full , by the time that we walked out , there were only about twenty-five percent of the seats still occupied . I really wanted to watch this modern adaptation of Shakespeare , but I could not listen to the words of the great Bard paired with a confused modern warfare theme . Either change the whole dialogue and do not pretend that it is Shakespeare , or set the whole plot in the original times and expect a smaller but much more satisfied clientele . This was neither for the Shakespeare die-hard nor the modernists !

      A new take on a less well known play, and the modern warfare setting was initially gripping and effective. However the film lost it's way after an hour as the director/ leading actor allowed himself to indulge in over long and slow paced dialogue scenes full of pauses which would have tried the patience of an audience in a stage production. The film almost recovered towards the end, but the film is one of two parts: 1st hour: less shooting more drama needed 2nd hour: less acting more action required. Ultimately Fiennes was seduced as director by his setting and his toys, but failed to take care of pace in this adaptation, and his own character came over as flat and one dimensional with few the emotional turning points played without subtlety or any real depth or engagement for the audience. 5/10. Brave try. Probably chose the wrong director.

      Coriolanus was brilliantly acted and well told. The Shakespearean dialog was difficult to follow at first but once my ear was 'tuned' in I understood it OK. Setting it in a modern tmes did not detract from my enjoyment of the film. 8/10

      The setting was interesting, I did not have an issue with the language until in one scene i drifted away and then need to take five to figure out where they had got to. The issue i had was that it felt like it was trying very hard to do new things, which was in one aspect good, but sometimes felt strained, as if it was trying too hard. I felt that their was too much reliance on (unsteady) steadycam, when sometime reverting to using a tripod for a fixed shot might have been used for a better effect, instead of disorientating. Only other thing which stood out to me was the final scene ended very well, with (SPOILER) silence, then the sound returning. Then a cut to his body being thrown down. This felt unnecessary, and i personally felt that this detracted from the poignant final scene. But that might just be the film student graduate side of me ruining films for me (again!) Overall, a good film, to be commended for trying one of the less well known bard's tales, but on occasion had should have stopped trying to be so groundbreaking and return to more conventional methods. 8/10

      The cinema was full but several people walked out during the film probaly because the shakespeare speak was all too much for them. If you go to see this film be prepared to concentrate on the language. If you are familiar with Spakespeare prose and enjoy its intricacies then its a film for you. If not and you are openminded it is an education it rearranging the sentance form and feeling the satisfaction of understanding. It was a fantastically and artfully directed and performed tragic tale.
