The triumph of the epic
What director Peter Weir is a brave and a very personal film, corroborating previous films as "Witness," "The Dead Poets Society" or "The Truman Show ". So it is not unusual to find a project of such magnitude involved in a dignified aura of humility accompanied by a small and unobtrusive commercial promotion.
Peter Weir faces in this film a chapter of history little known but no less interesting, as is the existence of the Gulag in Stalin's Russia. Escape from a Siberian prison, and all the way to find freedom will be the road to be both protagonists and spectators go in this epic drama based on real events.
Most notable of "Road to Freedom" is without doubt the tremendous work of both actors and director who is seen in the many aspects that the film gives us. The variety of languages \u200b\u200b(all perfectly consistent with the story), adaptations to climate, dangerous situations, etc, etc. allow us to verify that after the camera has been a commitment that goes beyond the purely commercial film, and professionalism For something more than mere applause interpretation. Both Ed Harris in a role perfectly designed for him, as the amazing Colin Farrell in one of the best work of his career, as the little-known Saoirse Ronan, and especially the great Jim Sturgess make a computer that fits perfectly in a limitless adventure where the complicity of every one of them can give or not to tear up the future of the film. The talks, looks, silence ... all forms an indispensable personal world that allows the story (perhaps too long) runs through a linear narrative and commendable that accepts the deal with the spectator in the universal language of entertainment . Because
Weir's film is very entertaining. And practically no longer be at any time. But having said that, one is left with the impression the missed opportunity. With existing molds, and more narrative approach and argument, we could be talking about the movie of the year for various reasons. Instead, "Road to Freedom" is just another good movie in which so much effort to some extent by the team remains in suspense to a story that fails to thrill, that despite the good complicity actors, is not convinced in the personal sense of their relationships, and ultimately lost in ways too epic adventure to end overlapping the emotional intensity, leaving a bitter dregs from seeing the broad spectrum in principle had created.
The superb performance by Jim Sturgess, which convince us with "50 men killed", allows us to confirm a rising star within the contemporary cinema, and the strength of feeling and good command of the direction of master Weir, allows us to enjoy recommended film, and expect in the future a new and surprising project.
is not, as it may seem, Weir's great film, but is instead an interesting option to further approach a little-known chapter of World War II, enjoy spectacular scenery, and admire the great interpretative moments caliber.
