  • Different Idea In Mind
    343 words
    Mindwalk: International Relations From the very beginning, I realized that Mindwalk was definitely not a film you could kick back, turn your brain off, and just enjoy. To be able to understand and grasp the meaning of the film, you first had to make sure that your brain was in full gear. The concept and idea the author is trying to get across just doesn't run to you. It requires concentration and an evaluation of the world around you. Even with this in mind, I'm not even sure I came across with ...

  • Most Powerful Shots Of The Film
    1,429 words
    The mood established by the opening scene is maintained throughout the film. The Sweet Hereafter has a very calm feel to it throughout. The action is not fast-paced or thrilling; the movies appeal is more related to its characters and its emotion than to its action. Nonetheless, I found it to be an irresistible film. The plot of The Sweet Hereafter centres around a tragic bus accident in a small town. Many directors and writers, given the same storyline, would have hit the audience hard by packi...

We watched this movie light-heartedly and carefree, an experience we all should have the opportunity to take part in....
