Elegy

A passionately fantastic but yet unpretentious story about how Love transcends everything and will always remain the most timeless gift one can give to our partner. It also stresses how complications arise from the little things we have to deal with in our everyday Life that surrounds us and our own insecurities, whatever they may be...

The story is narrated from the melancoly perspective of someone in the Autumn years of his Life which will relate more to the senior and more mature crowd. It also suggest something about being alone may not necessarily be the same as being lonely.
The story unfolds in a comfortable pace and like I have mentioned earlier is not puffed up like how most Love stories are. It is a very real story which I had seen in a very long time.

I did read a little bit of the sypnosis before walking into this one although the strong cast is reason enough for me to watch it without doing so.

Sir Ben 'Ghandi' Kingsley's performance is timeless (as always) and he may yet bag himself another Oscar. I cannot help but feel envious of him and for those who have seen the movie, I am sure you understand why. What a Lucky Dawg!!!
Penelope Cruz is truly amazing!!! I do sincerely hope that she gets at least a nomination for her superb acting. I am sure if I am envious of Sir Kingsley, Penelope would have been the envy of the Ladies. How pleasantly surprised am I that she shed her clothes in more ways than one for this role and my God... She IS a work of art!

This may not be the most conventional movie around but I highly recommend it as a date worthy movie. The appreciation of this movie draws a very clear distinction between Boys from Men and Girls from Ladies.
