A fictitious love
story loosely inspired by the lives of Danish artists Lili Elbe and Gerda
Wegener. Lili and Gerda's marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili's
groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer.
One of the things I love most about awards season is the
acting dominated movies that turn out to be a master class on acting. It brings me make to the days of old
Hollywood when that was the majority of motion pictures that were released
every year. There probably aren’t a lot
of people who could watch Cat on a Hot Tin Roof over and over again, but if you
really enjoy acting it’s a great go to piece to learn from the masters. Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander turn it on
in this picture and make you feel them and they connect you to them and take
you on a phenomenal journey. I would
suggest a quick trip to Google and research the two main characters before
watching, but if you don’t it’s not a big deal.
As I said before, this is a heavy acting movie, and for all you purists
out there you will enjoy this and see why Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander
have been nominated for Oscars. Period
pieces are always a pleasure to watch and this is one beautiful picture all the
way around with amazing costumes and locations. At the Oscars last year Eddie Redmayne won
for his role in The Theory of Everything, and if it were not for that I would
say he is a lock to win for this role.
With that said, I believe the trophy will go to Leonardo DiCaprio this
year, and the race for best Actress in a Supporting Role comes down to Alicia
and Kate Winslet, it’s too close to call but I’m going to guess it goes to
Alicia Vikander. Enough of this award
talk, check this movie out, it’s a two-hour master class that tells an
incredible story.
