Ink

I liked it!
I'm not sure why all these things happened, but even so, I liked it!

So, OK, I'm gonna try my best to summon what the movie is about. This movie doesn't explain much, if anything at all but I think it's about a reunion between a father and his daughter. After his wife's death , John was find unfit to take care of his own daughter due to some drug problems and alcohol. The girl named Emma is now living with her grandparents and one day she has a seizure and is taken into the hospital. Even so, the father feels betrayed by the law and the grandparents so he doesn't visit his daughter. What they don't know is that the daughter actually was taken by Ink, a creature that can walk through worlds. In one of these worlds lives other creatures that can control humans dreams, either give them a pleasant dream, or nightmares. The creatures that gives out pleasant dreams needs to save Emma and bring her back to the human world before the creatures that gives out nightmares does something... But only John has the ability to wake her up. So the pleasant dream givers has to take John to Emma in the hospital and protect him from the nightmare givers.

I don't really know why they need Emma or John, they don't really explain that well. I think the most important thing was the relationship between Emma and John so they concentrated on that. But it's good. You can see Johns pain and confusion, he doesn't really know what to feel so he becomes angry, and they show that really good. Ehum... But yeah! The only negative thing is that you don't really know the goal of the bad guys in the movie so it fails a little in that.

At first I thought the edeting was really bad but then it became a style and a dance between the camera, the caracters and the story. So it's stylish when the edeting goes by very fast, when it needs to be slow, it's slow, in a fighting scene it jumps around a lot. They knew how to work it though and I was never annoyed by the camera movement.

And second thing I thought was bad but then turned out stylish was the lighting. There was expaned lightning and it looked really weird, but then I noticed... It's to show the different worlds. The creatures that give dreams, they are in the human world but they can't interact with the humans, so everytime the camera is on them the lighting is a little brighter and when it's on the humans it looks normal. Another plus went up when I discovered that, it's actually kind of clever. And then when the bad guys appeared it turned green and they really knew what they were doing with the light so... GOOD FOR YOU!

The music is kept in the background and I LOVED that. It felt like the music was shy, it wanted to do something grand but someone was keep telling it to stay in the background and... Damn that was a good decision. I don't like it when the music takes over when it's not a musical and you can't really hear the actors because the music is SO LOUD! But here, it let the actors and the camera do the work. It was just there so it wouldn't be silent. And don't get me wrong, there were some silent moment of course! But yeah! I liked it! More plus!

The actors in this movie did a GREAT job with portraying every caracter they were supposed to be. The design of everything was just perfect, and I'm talking about the clothes the hair and... beard. It was just perfect! Fit every caracter and the child did a great job of portraying, scared, angry, happy, determind... It was great seeing this child. So yeah.. Actors great job!

Now, the caracters... I found three caracters that I loved in this movie. Three caracters in ONE movie that was my favorite... And they didn't disappoint! That's pretty amazing! So yeah, you can pretty much guess that everyone kept their caracter through the movie, the comedy was the comedy and concistant! I loved that, the warrior was a warrior and Emma was still a child even though she became braver and stuff like that. I hate it when the child stops being a child just because she's brave... You know what I mean, hopefully. So yeah, great caracters, great actors... where can you go wrong?

This movie has only one negative thing that I can think of and a million things that are great! So, I recommend this movie and see what you get out of it! I'm definitly seeing this movie again! And I so want to see behind the scenes to see what they really wanted to get across and how much fun they had making this movie!

Yeah! So, see you next time! GO SEE INK!
