The Constant Gardener

MP:

Another one on my road to the Oscars.
I thought the title sounded a bit weird, but I was not disapointed at all.
A great film. I wished it was nominated for best picture, cause I think it deserved it.
Allen liked it too, and he is SOOOO picky and critical about movies.

It was brilliant. The actors were fantastic. There is something so refined about Ralf Finnes. He is an eternal gentleman. No matter what he does, there's always this aura about him. He's great. And I also liked Rachel Weis, which is good, because I have not been her biggest fan in the past. But she's very raw and real in this one. I enjoyed it very much.

The intrigue of the film was the best thing. There was juice until the end, it was great not to be able to predict the next event. It was really gripping, and effectively tackled really thick issues, like the greediness of pharmaceutical companies, and the value of human life, among other things. It really made its point. The flashback structure of the film also kept the whole thing very interesting and intriguing.

Loved it. Hope it wins stuff tonight.
