| Outstanding! Isabel has done it again! (by nicoloved) |
| What a remarkable film! "The Secret Life of Words" grows on you little by little, at a steady and constant relaxed pace, throwing at you intriguing images and sounds from the very beginning that will get you hooked wondering until the very end.Isabel has done it again, an emotional "rollercoaster" that gets to you in a devastating way. We needed this movie!This movie could have been called "The Forgotten". Why we prejudice people we don't know simply because they behave differently, in ways we do not understand? How come we pretend to understand certain <more> |
| This film just screened as part of Brisbane International Film festival Australia . I was truly devastated. (by stefan-t) |
| I understand the commentary about the revelation of pain but the most significant 'lesson' for me was the insidious horror of war - in a film without bloodshed - and obviously the lingering effects of man's inhumanity to man. The slow reveal of the characters' backgrounds crept up on me and to my surprise left me absolutely gutted at the film's conclusion -and for some time after. I was left with a feeling of emotional and physical grief that i have not felt since my father died - the uncontrollable tide of internal pain. While a completely different genre, it reminded me <more> |
| A great movie on survival and healing (by Campusgirl) |
| When people go through great amounts of pain and unbearable suffering, it takes a lot of time for them to be able if ever to heal and go on with their lives. This movie helps us to understand that process and connect with other people's pain. It does it in a very slow way, it's true, but that's the greatness and beauty of this movie. It gives us time to understand what these people have been thru, and shows how important it is that we do not forget, or let those that have suffered to be forgotten. It's not 'showy', not fast, not overly intellectualized but small, <more> |
| Secret's Poetry (by efewebber) |
| I went to see this last Isabel Coixet's movie three hours ago and its beautiful and powerful story is still bouncing in my head... the sea, Tim Robbin's eyes, Hanna's beautiful voice and her intense way of holding her feelings, Simon's delightful food in the middle of nowhere..The way it is conceived is somehow simple, a mysterious woman, in my opinion extremely well resolved by Sarah Polley, happens to arrive to a remote place where a bunch of loners have just had a deep dramatic experience. As explicitly mentioned in the movie, 'God makes them..' 'Dios los <more> |
| Good and Underrated (by slake09) |
| Great performances, an original idea, good script - it's just a great movie, which nobody I know has seen.I have no idea why this one didn't get better distribution, it certainly deserves it. The little quirks of the characters liven up the story, as does the interaction between Polley's disturbed nurse and Robbin's rough patient. Although you could see the ending coming a mile away, that was fine, as it seemed that was what was supposed to happen.This is a good one when you're in the mood for a somewhat dark drama with romantic overtones. The romance doesn't get too <more> |
| Not the most social film in the world (by KuRt-33) |
| I have a feeling this may be one of those movies like 'The Goddess of 1967', a movie people will either love for its beauty or hate and claim it's hollow trash that pretends to be intellectual .'La Vida' is a movie that's largely based on an oil rig. An explosion has occurred, killing one guy and badly injuring a man who tried to help. The problem is: where can you find a nurse that wants to work on an oil rig? Enter Hanna Amiran, a deaf girl who has worked in a factory for four years without taking a day off. Now Hanna has been forced by the unions to take some <more> |
| Touching and smart (by abeldiaz) |
| Two persons trying to cope with the past: a splendid Sarah Polley and as always a great Tim Robbins. This is a smart and very interesting film about the way we try to escape from the past: with love and with words and with silences . I also enjoyed the rest of the characters: it is amazing how they are described with small details here and there, and you finish the movie wanting to know more about the rest of the cast. Isabel Coixet did a splendid work here of portrayal of the more inner parts of the human soul. Please check the music of the film, the selection is really good and all the <more> |
| Remarkable independent film (by paulscofield68) |
| Those of you who have seen Isabel Coixet's first film- My Life without Me- shouldn't miss this one. Like that film, this has a tragic-romantic essence at its core. A very well-written script, with a handful of themes, superbly acted, and direction/editing/score/soundtrack all good to very good at times excellent . Dense, literate, and increasingly absorbing. By no means your mainstream action flick; yet this movie should find a large audience in those who like 'independent films' or 'European', for Americans . Filmed in Ireland much shot indoors , and entirely in <more> |
| Thought provoking (by chanathan03) |
| Probably one of the better films I've seen this year. In contrary to the person who left the movie half way, I think the characters developed very well. From Hannah, who didn't speak and trust people becoming completely open and sharing her story certain clues like her eating different food played a role in sensing this development , to Josef who's love life was tainted until he found his true counterpart. The use of the little girl's voice to narrate gives it a dark, yet emotional sense of who she is and where the story of the movie is coming from. Overall, the movie was <more> |
