The script uses max­i­mum intel­li­gence to exe­cute this oper­a­tion and walk out with min­i­mum fight.The cast­ing is in fact is too rich. They use Jodie fos­ter for a small role. Clive Owen masks his face most of the time. Den­zel does some styl­ish act­ing in this movie. [ one of the finest actors in hol­ly­wood]. The movie was fin­ished in just 39 days. Direc­tor Spike Lee uses every pos­si­ble fac­tor into con­sid­er­a­tion. [ even the sticker in the paint van has a mean­ing ]. In fact, the title is the most apt one for this script. A good film starts right from the first shot — this one does with a painter get­ting into a van. I liked the titling sequences too.

 
A fine treat to watch it on a Fri­day in home theatre.

The Painted veil — 2006. Drama.
Directed by : John Cur­ran
Cast : Edward Nor­ton, Naomi watts [ they are the pro­duc­ers too ]

Plot :

They are accom­pa­nied by another British admin. and the local Chi­nese mil­i­tary asks the British crew to move away. Local peo­ple believe cholera as a curse.. Nor­ton works hard with analysing cholera where as his bored wife watts works with an orphan­age run by nuns. Life changes in that remote place.. View : I expe­ri­enced watch­ing this movie sim­i­lar to read­ing a poem. Espe­cially the music.. The loca­tions are exotic — remote vil­lages in China. Look for an enchant­ing visual por­trayal of the movie. The ini­tial shots explain the cou­ple are unhappy.. just their intro.. [ they stand in a cross­road fac­ing opp direc­tions ] A mar­riage with no love [ even an adul­tery hap­pens ] and they don’t even talk. A trans­for­ma­tion hap­pens through­out the film.

The con­ver­sa­tions [ doesn’t look like writ­ten dia­logues ] are crisp and even the silence/natural sounds works out in many places. I like the scene where she wants to con­vey a good news but con­fused n cries after­wards. I liked the sup­port­ing actor’s part and also the best part in the movie was cast­ing. A good movie always have the right cast, excel­lent pho­tog­ra­phy and won­der­ful music. This movie has every­thing. The way the story ends is awe­some. It was an emo­tional jour­ney with stun­ning visu­als and sooth­ing score.

Film trivia..

Ever won­dered, the addi­tional suf­fix of the cam­era man.. ASC, ISC, BSC, CSC .. They are American/Indian/British/Canadian Soci­ety of Cin­e­matog­ra­phers. Sim­i­larly, British soci­ety and Indian soci­ety.. Edi­tors have some­thing like ACE.
