Action and Drama Work Hand-in-Hand

| This film, like many others, shows why Daniel Day-Lewis is a master of his trade. I had no problem suspending disbelief that he was truly a boxer. This was even evident during the opening credits when he was shadow boxing in the prison yard. But this wasn't a movie about boxing; it's a movie about the love between two people that endured a decade and a half apart. I don't know anything about cameras and the types of film used to shoot movies, but the actual look of the film was perfect for a torn up Northern Ireland. It also captures the changing mind-set from extreme to cooperative by those resisting change when they realize that extremism will never lead to a favorable conclusion. So there's a couple different themes, all tied together to make a good movie. On a sidenote - I literally had to buy this movie because I could not find it in a video rental store anywhere ... does anyone know why? |
