A Rebuttal to Myself
Wouldn't ya know it. A day after I finished my last blog, I sat down and watched a film my wife was interested in. Blew my entire last blog out of the water. Loved it!
The film, "Take Shelter", stars Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain. The acting is superb and the story is exceptional. The interesting thing about the story is its minimalist take. Everything is understated, subtle and thought provoking.
A day after my viewing, I was still trying to piece together my thoughts and impressions. One might think the movie too slow (especially if you are trained by Hollywood's hyperactivity), but give it some time and focus on Michael Shannon's face and body language. Phenomenal. After viewing, you will yourself remembering snippets and trying to reconcile them with the ending Good stuff.
