Movie: Nine



First off Daniel Day-Lewis is just brilliant. The guys is probabally the most dedicated method actor around today (maybe Christian Bale). He is absolutely transformative.

You know watching this trailer reminds me of world I had lost sight of. A world free of mediocrity and of the ordinary. Everything is just so extravegantly brilliant. Everything. The lighting, the lay of rooms, even the most common elements of life have this intriguing aesthetic quality to them. And the people ooze with talent. It is not forced or in anyway unnatural. It is who they are. There is an overwhelming beauty to their entire existence. The way they walk, the way they move, the way they smoke a cigarette, how they hold themselves in moments of inactivity. It's a beauty derived from a freedom; their freedom to act to express themselves in their brilliance with all of its eccentricities. I do miss it.
