Movie- UP



If I had big enough balloons to lift me up to the sky, I would be the happiest woman in the world. However,78-year-old Carl Fredricksen, the main character, looked pretty sad and gloomy during the movie although this movie’s genre is animation, adventure, comedy, drama, and romance. Pete Docter, the director of Up, tried to keep this mood as the story progressed, and seemed to show the meaning of life with an unrealistic story. Keeping the same mood and theme via the movie is very difficult but important. That is why it has gotten 8.4 points out of 10 by 92,609 voters on IMDB, The Internet Movie Database. Also, it won 2 Oscars, Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures and Best Animation Feature Film of the year.
Up is a 3D animation movie. As I watched this, I felt like I could touch their clothes, faces, and balloons even though I only saw the 2D version of the movie. The image of fabric was so amazing, especially. I almost pulled out my hand to touch the screen. Also, the tone of the images and pastel and warm colors soothe the audiences softly. In addition, the well connected music with the plot helped the audiences to sympathize with the story.
When people find their turning points in their lives, many of them struggle to catch the specific moment because they don’t know which is going to be the big moment. Maybe that is one of the reasons why we need movies which have unrealistic stories even if many of them based on our lives. We don’t have enough time to experience everything that we want to. Therefore, we can catch some clues from the movies when we face on our own problems. In this perspective, Up is the best movie to watch because it gives the viewers a chance to look back on their lives.
