Up

Photobucket

We watched Up earlier in the week.

It's a brilliant film but what got me was the opening sequence which had me sobbing. It is so honest and sad and it just got to me.  The rest of the film thankfully is nowhere near as sad. But I imagine its a very different experience watching it as a child than watching it as an adult.

It's a film about loss, its about hope, its about adventures and its about surprises. I think it's probably the best film they've ever made.

I loved Doug. He was the best interpretation of a Golden Retriever I've ever seen.

I also loved the cone of shame!

Pixar really nailed it with this one.

  1. I had no idea that the first 10 minutes would be so sad. I cried and cried!

  2. @ColorSlut: I'd heard that it was sad, but seeing it was a whole different kettle of fish. For a sequence at a beginning of a movie with virtually no dialogue to be so effective. Just incredible.
