He has a hidden past that no one seems to know anything about. The mysterious man from nowhere.
She has no one but herself.
This was overall a brilliantly crafted movie it was full of twists and turns and tear jerking moments.
The connection between the two main characters are perfect. She relied on him as a father figure and he relied on her as his only companion in his solitude.
Although only two hours long every character is developed in the way that allows it to help the others develop themselves.
I was a bit hesitant to start this movie only because I was unsure of how the role of the child actress as the second main character would help the main character. She seemed too young to be taking such an important role. But she proved me wrong again and again throughout the movie.
Not only did she help develop the main character, she was able to strongly develop herself as a child in a poverty stricken environment with a drug abusing mother. It was amazing to see someone so young portraying a character that many with years of experience in the field had difficulty portraying.
What suprised me the most, was the villianous character who started the entire movie. His previous roles were all very silly and happy-go-lucky. Seeing him transform into this character really shocked me and he was the perfect villian.
This was an unforgettable movie, it had perfect characters, a perfect script, the perfect director and the perfect actors.
Eerie and cruel, but worth every minute.
