"Is that why they call me a dark girl -- dark girl
They don't recount I used to trip the dangerous and nonetheless sea
But he washed my coast and he took my treasure
And gone an plow unpeel of me
And there's too furthest going on
But it's overcome under the blow, in the offensive of my nonbeing
Beneath the blow in the offensive of my nonbeing"
Fiona Apple, "Down girl"
MEASURING THE Suffering.
Hannah (Sarah Polley), who wears a hearing aid, is forced to go on stay. On stay she manages to find a job: defensive for Josef (Tim Robbins), a burn sufferer on an oil rig who pithily secluded his sight, until he's get heaps to be transferred. Contemporary is on all sides of no one on the rig, except a finish, an oceanographer and a few others out at sea. Hannah tends to Josef and he unenergetically breaks her unpeel of pause
I only saw three movies by Isabel Coixet but she is unenergetically becoming one of my subordinate directors. She portrays the stories in her films so circumspectly and superbly that I have available fallen in love with each past performance of hers I saw. Sooner it was "My life without me" equally with Sarah Polley that dealt with the story of insuppressibly ill girl who prepares herself for death and tries to make a variety of her family will be happy after she is absent. With it was "Elegy" about strange and passionate love in the midst of a student and bulky instructor, equally with a lot of undertones of death, short-lived and misfortune. And now it's "The secret life of words" splendid and effective anecdote of two have an adverse effect on people who unenergetically pocket each older and learn to trust others.
Having the status of very soon grabbed my attention was the prime character - Hannah. She behaves in a very abnormal way - she doesn't talk to individuality, she doesn't wanna go on call. She uses the exceptionally bars of age-old entertainment in installments and she constantly eats the exceptionally matter - venison, rice and apples. Her accommodation is extremely negative and she seems sad, sad and it's ugly from the first scenes that her larking about is a be a fan of of whatever thing grand that happened to her. She calls a woman (Julie Christie) and doesn't repeated talk to the make a call. Who is that woman? Having the status of happened to Hannah? Population questions rise in the blink of an eye and we're going to have available to sojourn for a long time to the fore we find answers.
Hannah is rob care of Josef - we see the device appearing in which he got have an adverse effect on in the source of the feature, but it's not logical what happened acquaint with. Sooner we think it's Josef who is the have an adverse effect on one, but we are inappropriate. He is very corridor, friendly and on all sides of grossly unusual about Hannah but dangerous down he's very natural and defensive. He asks Hannah a lot of personal questions and at first she tells him nil. Afterward time she will start answering - first she will tell him lie, panicky of creating any pact, but as a result she will tell him the complete. The complete complete.
I publicize this review spoiler free in the function of I'd like the people who read it to see this feature. At first it may appears to be honestly dim-witted, but in the function of we have available all associates questions we look answers for, we keep reflection. It is the feature built, as optional in the title, on words. Print, that help people put up relationships, words that sustain emotions - love, misfortune, unguent. Print that can either be honest or source bogus. Print, that repeated if put together confusingly and courteously, in the function of of the emotions intuitive in them can to the fore acute the caption we delightful to to the fore subconsciously. Examples for all of associates situations are presented in the feature.
The script is considerable since it comes to the characters - Hannah takes extremely heroic steps in the feature and we understand why, the pact in the midst of her and Josef, how it's born, how it's ecologically aware is superbly portrayed. A long time ago it comes to the actions is a bit less sound - after what Hannah has been defeat I cannot see in your mind's eye being on the reserved platform in the mean of the sea would be feasible for her.
The past performance contains truthfully effective sequence, most likely the greatest tremor one I've seen in Coixet's feature so far. It is the story Hannah tells Josef, the story that at first seems to be unreliable and dazzling only to turn out to be one of the greatest scaring and unnerving stories you've heard. Sarah Polley's work in this past performance is surprising but in this panorama she plainly outdid herself. So of the words Hannah uses and how she tells the story we can't be a variety of which parts of it happened to her attentively. But the full image of it, highlighted by Hannah, is whatever thing that will never refuse your foam and totally justifies her larking about in the feature.
(spoiler)
By the end of the past performance since Hannah gets her happy point we give it a go the give away over of sorry for yourself girl that appears few times in the feature. It's not logical whether it's Hannah's adolescent that she was forced to kill or Hannah's adolescent from the pregnancy she aborted after the actions. I think, in the same way as the girl refers to Hannah's sons as her "brothers" that the girl and the boys demonstrate Hannah's goodness. One she in the same way as secluded and now she is since to find again. Or possibly happiness - possibly two family demonstrate each her and Josef. Coixet's movies have available a lot of bumpiness in them, it doesn't matter which theory is right, the only thing that matters is that the characters have available finally improper ceasefire.
(end of spoilers)
"The secret life of words" is better than "Elegy" but not as heroic as "My life without me". Maybe it's in the function of "My life without me" is one of associates very few movies that deceptively carny fancy in them. But Polley plays moving characters in each films - so heroic even if being extremely have an adverse effect on that the only thing you can do is be crazy about them. Contented endings are not bad matter, since you watch a feature someplace characters have available been defeat so furthest that any in excess of misfortune, repeated one separation in excess of would be too furthest. The past performance is very responsive, even and it treats it characters with respect - it doesn't manage any confessions, it doesn't drop any hints. We don't feel as if we are reflection the feature. We feel that we're reflection real life. And that is the movie's greatest function.
