i accidentally caught this movie on astro last year. i came home from kenduri, eating more kenduri food when i saw this gorgeous film on screen. i stopped eating and kept watching and thought, why have i not known about this movie sooner? there was a girl with no front teeth but she has the earnest of all expressions, the kind of wonderment that only children can transmit with the most perfect subtleties that requires no acting. also there was a gorgeous man with a beautiful feminine countenance, i found out later that one of his earliest film he had played a role of a drag queen. but the film itself, shot in 28 countries over the period of 4 years, this proved to be tarsem's labour of love and film making of its essence, where imagination and ideas roam free, and colours replace utterance to depict events and emotions. i will not divulge what the film is about because i think the movie is more than just a story, it is about experiencing it so i hope people will watch it and absorb its beauty. it is a homage to the early pioneers of film makers and actors, people who took the risks out of love and madness, that we have this medium to impart the humanity in us.
it's a story about falling and giving up, and about getting back up again.
