Review Time: this film is excellent
Fundamental elements: there are
voice-over elements, background music, mental imagery, no subtitles when
another language is being used, but possibly and interpretation by the
character that said it I don't know, time jumps and place jumps.
The
background music is just there doing it's thing, the movement of this project
is to begin with a slow burner, I mean it isn't the most quickest of films, but
it seems to settle down and find its rhythm when a supporting
character/performer enters this project, on reflection the time jumps and place
jumps of our lead character/performer's back story has an effect on this
project, don't get me wrong I understand and I get its purpose, but it has just
come to me that if you add this supporting character/performer and this film
rotating forward in one way or another it feels much more settled, as if it
does okay for going backwards and forwards, but it feels more settled moving
forward from where we are [the present to the future with a flow.]
Storyline/back storys: this storyline is
based on real life events, the viewers get shown [by mental imagery of our lead
character/performer's background] and told by some other characters; other
characters back stories, these are good
Artistic visions/Comedy level: there is
this cat which I like and we have our main character/performer and supporting
character/performer singing and playing instruments. The comedy level I will be
discussing this in the next paragraph but for now; for one example without
giving too much away these characters/performers go out for some ice cream and
because our lead character/performer gets put in a difficult situation, the
supporting character/performer doesn't take too kindly to this and consequently
the group act up [minus one character/performer.]
Character developments/Performances: the character developments from an overview perspective are split
down into these three groups; Patients, Doctors, Nurses & Orderlies and
then there is everyone else outside of this environment. Now the reason why I
wanted to bring up the comedy level here again, it is because when these
characters/performers are on the same page [Patients] you can sense that these
characters have a sense of unity [as I have already shown in the previous
paragraph] or Patient & Nurse [the Nurse's love life and a Patients
suggestion/advice] or when it is Patients vs. Nurses [distraction in one scene,]
I should just point out it isn't out and out comedy, I think the best way I can
describe it is this; if anyone has worked in this kind of environment, you know
what I am trying to say here; it shows itself like; what it could be like to
work in this environment.
So yes there
is chemistry, but however when there is friction on some level the results can
be life-changing and generally speaking the performances are good.
This film receives: 8/10, after
everything is said and done I think this is a fair conclusion, I think anything
less would be harsh or a little bit difficult to justify and finally I should
give you a clean-cut warning, this film yes may be of real life events, but you
will also see the effects of mental health issues, all I can say is this; don't
take this warning likely [and I have given you two warnings now, I am not
trying to put you off this film, I'm just covering my back, just in case I get
some form of negative feedback.]
