Him picking up the pen, I think that was supposed to be symbolic over how he doesn't believe in God. But I do get the melodrama argument. I just thought it rose above that.Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-22519643596973888922014-12-17T06:42:33.755-06:002014-12-17T06:42:33.755-06:00It's so well done!It's so well done!Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-20165716125882236842014-12-17T06:42:01.784-06:002014-12-17T06:42:01.784-06:00Oh, I thought they were both wonderful and deserve...Oh, I thought they were both wonderful and deserve those Oscar nominations that they're going to get. lolBrittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-26482190423565073722014-12-16T19:55:26.934-06:002014-12-16T19:55:26.934-06:00I liked it, even if it felt too Oscar-friendly.

The melodrama is depicted in the same way we saw many many times. And that scene in which he picks up the pen? That's just playing dirty. I wish there had been at least one scene who did not try to make you cry. Really, this is what happens when oscar bait goes really too over the top. And james Marsh is nowhere to be found. I agreed, score and cinematography are excellent.
