Everything is illuminated
Based on the novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, the film can be divided into three parti.Nella first part of the film plays on folk, ironic take on the cultural exchange between Jonathan and Alex. Jonathan is an American guy, thoughtful, reflective, and vegetarian (seems to be a blasphemy to certain latitudes), Alex is Ukrainian, living a myth of Western culture and do not go to bed with women born before 1969, when he said it would be was invented tantric position 69, in fact.
The second part of the film is represented by the journey in search of Trachimbrod, a shtetl in which there is no trace, whose name means nothing to most.
We are almost in front of a road movie, in which the protagonists mature along.
The topic of aging is bound to see clearly.
The grandfather of Alex, pretending to be Czech, lived on their skin the Holocaust, the experience and the memories are inside him, he can not sell. The theme of his blindness seems to attempt to remove a painful memory.
is antithetical to the situation of Jonathan port glasses with very thick lenses. E 'in search of truth, memory, and not having experience, his vision is incomplete. It 'made up of objects and symbols that collects quirky to reconstruct what happened to his family and his people. Not by chance is a collector, but his collection is unusual: not tied to a passion, rather motivated by the need not to forget those moments, do not forget lives. And his life ... seems entirely dedicated to the memory.
The third part of the film is the lighting. The clarity comes from a woman who lives outside of time and reality. In the scene where the protagonist goes to Trachimbrod seems a spirit, as if to symbolize that even in this immense is the role of "dead".
the dead as a metaphor of memory and history. A deep history as a movement that goes beyond the lives that goes beyond what the individual living being.
It seems that our players have the task of conveying to the lives and destinies through History receive from the past.
if to say that only the memory does justice to those who have lived and at the same time is a source of light for the present, thanks to it everything is illuminated.
recommend everyone see it, has something poetic, illuminating and lightens the heart, despite the heaviness of the theme.
