UP

August 25, 2009

UP is about uncovering your own adventure. It’s a story about a man who in his later years found the courage to pursue his longtime dream to go to Paradise Falls ( a dream he and his late wife had). With the help of Russell, a young and awfully cute wilderness explorer, they discover the importance of friendship, courage and acceptance. Or at least, that’s how I interpreted it.

In general, the mood of the movie was really melancholic, letting the adult viewer contemplate on the implications and symbolisms used. However, it has a lot of comic relief offered by Dug (the talking dog), Kevin ( a fictional bird),  Alpha (the talking dog with a malfunctioning translator)and of course by the main character Mr. Fredrickson whose grouchy attitude reminds me of my dear late uncle. God bless his soul.

 

Bring a tissue!  err..
