IF you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

vantage point

February 24, 2008

i have a couple of reasons for watching this movie:

1. Vantage Point it sounds like the kind of movie i would want to watch — featuring a great cast (dennis quaid, sigourney weaver, forest whitaker, william hurt, matthew fox) and a promising storyline (an action political thriller).

2. Vantage Point also happens to be the title of my other blog.

 

Vantage Point is a multilayered treatment of an international incident (assassination of the US president), told from the varying viewpoints of 8 individuals whose lives get irresistibly caught up in the maelstrom of events that occurred before and after the incident.

subtle layers of the story begin to unravel as each character goes through his/her side of the story minutes before and after the event. it’s not until the whole picture becomes complete that you begin to realize how skewed your point view can be if you only see things from a certain angle.

basically, i think Vantage Point has the best car chase sequence of any film i’ve seen. if the last 10 minutes doesn’t manage to jolt your nerves, i don’t know what else will. (the guy beside me would periodically grip his armrest and almost grabbed my arm by mistake once heheh. come to think of it, i even managed to wince and squirm a few times myself.) the car chase alone is worth the price of an admission ticket. but hey don’t just take my word for it. go and see it for yourself.
