I watched ALL IS LOST last night and I kept moving back and forth - TopicsExpress



          

I watched ALL IS LOST last night and I kept moving back and forth between This is boring and This is amazing and after a nights sleep Ive decided its amazing. Particularly because of its understatement. Robert Redfords desperation and will to survive is much more meditative than soap operatic and over the top. The only exposition in the film is of the giant, wide open sea that this man is surviving on. The best writing and filmmaking happens when items are removed from the page and canvas rather than added; this film achieves its awesomeness by leaving things out. Some have argued that this reduces the film to a near nothing dramatic stake in the character. But this films simplicity gives allowance for me to bring my own life and struggle into the picture and I am able to relive my climb up the mountain of humility as a lowly member earth and child of God. I know. Woah is right.
