Yes, you've done it again. You've got to move me back. And you made me laugh.
Sam Mendes seems intent on dismantling the myth of the american dream and the American way of life . And it seems to be used either in its purpose. If you already got it 10 years ago with his debut film American Beauty (which I hardly remember anything), last year made us let fascinated, appalled, with its Revolutionary Road . I remember vividly, however, the feeling with which I left the cinema to see the latter, the slight shock I supposed.
recently released the mentioned filmmaker A place to stay , Away we go in its original version, which calls into question and highlight the apparent happiness that deceives us into the mainstream film about the typical American lifestyle. In this case, it is a simple road movie with a great sense of humor. The story begins in when the protagonists, Burt and Verona, are pregnant. With six months pregnant, his parents, the only support that counts the couple decides to undertake a two-year trip to Europe. That is when they themselves decide to undertake a journey, the United States, visiting friends and relatives in the hope of finding a good place to stay and go home.
From this starting point, the film follows the protagonists on their journey, full of hilarious situations due to the characters they encounter, they find what they are and, especially, how not to want to be, neither they nor their future family.
As I said, this is a hilarious comedy and a touch of tenderness, which is achieved in part by the superb performance of the main characters. I would highlight especially John Krasinski. Surely they know the name, but fans of The Office know him as the unforgettable Jim Halpert, virtually the only character in "normal" among all those who make this fantastic series. This is the first time I see the actor out of range, and have reinforced my theory that the type in question probably more sympathetic on the face of the Earth.
