Huge Disappointment

A huge disappointment, and easily my least favorite movie this year. Angelina's self-loadedness is so apparent in this movie: she really does not have the talent she thinks she has.

She tries to cover the whole eventful life of a 80-year old , which is already a mission-impossible for a 2-hour-long movie, even with the help of the Coen brothers. She should have just focused on one part of the book, namely the last part about forgiveness and tolerance. Instead, the best part is just glossed over by a few seconds. It just turns out to be a messy mix of everything: Pearl Harbor, Forest Gump, Life of Pi, and then The Shawshank Redemption or so many other movies about criminal camps.

    2014/12/25 I watched Starred Up and went to the little fresh meat Jack O'Connell. It was still full of innocent male hormones. I didn't expect to pack a Garrett Hedlund, which was a big money rush. But such a good story was filmed by Aunt Zhu Li based on the tone of juvenile school + police prisoner sadism.

    The film is qualified, the photography is awesome.
