NINE

Its like a documentary about a 50's/60's Italian film maker. Like  a documentary with strong musical numbers(a collage of music  videos) and very retro-like iconic shots(almost every scene could be a picture on a post card).

I had a great time watching the music performances. Set in mid 20th century but aww soooo 21st century style or maybe its just me being of the Mtv/Vh1 generation. As an aspiring filmaker-i appreciated the editing-very passionate way of story telling in my opinion.

Daniel Day-Lewis nails it! He has that adorably poetic creepy artist thing going in his eyes.;)

The plot-yup  ...about one of those genius(yes,i said European) European Directors. Eccentric,chain smoker,troubled,bordeline depressed or neorotic,relationship challenged, plus perharps a small dose of " mummy issues" -this our main character is bordened and blessed with the gift to make cinema magic and he's been called upon to work his wonder yet again but....."Houston,we might have a problem"

Its not one of those musicals movies that most of us may cringe it(i'm a fan of some of those musicals like west side story,the sound of music,fiddler on the roof)
This musical is made in a way the minds of this generation can grasp the flow and soul of it.

The story is filled with a lot of passion in my humble ...you know what. I could feel it in the lyrics and texts.
Rob Marshall(director of this piece)has started his own new wave.
though it might be a tad similar to Moulin rouge and Chicago in theme style and era but...

I had humble pie for breakfast so there you go;)
