Maestro (2004)
Wonderful
I thought Maestro was simply wonderful. Each shot was rich with color and imagery, veritable candy for the eyes. The story captivates you from the beginning to end. You can not help but route for the "boy" and his dream of becoming a composer. It leaves you feeling truly inspired that even people from the most ordinary walks of life can be chosen for a magical purpose. Even if that magical purpose involves more than you had bargained. Love, triumph, courage, determination, Maestro has it all. One lesson being, to look at the world through many perspectives because whatever we need is right here. This was wonderfully demonstrated in the bowling alley when Tim Healy learns to coordinate all his surrounding sounds. I had many giggles over the Sean Connery-esquire V.O.s and even got chills from the composing, needless to say I also enjoyed the soundtrack.
After the Apocalypse (2004)
It is mesmerizing to watch...
It is mesmerizing to watch the interaction of the post apocalyptic survivors. With no dialogue, and reminiscent to the stylings of Jean-Jacques Annaud, we witness the stragglers of humanity and their will to survive. Through body language and primitive drawings we watch the story unfold and relationships form. One woman among four men evolves into tension and jealousy. We also witness love, loyalty and feasting. In spite of the horror that the world has become, the absolute need for companionship is paramount. The results give us hope for mankinds continued existence. A gritty, realistic portrayal of humanity in a new dawn. Great story telling set to a great score.
