An Exercise In Nonsense
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
At first, this just looked a little bit smarmy, and we take comfort in the fact that the cute little girl can't speak. But no, we have to have a happy ending, so the hard-hearted neighbours discover that the girl hears and speaks only melodies, so the second half of the film is sung in nursery rhyme melodies, and saccharine rhymes. It really is as vile as it sounds. I was screaming at them to stop. There are some good actors in this film. They must have been really hard-up to accept these jobs.The girl sounds like that Nikki Webster wretch. I'm not sure whether she did the singing, but it was someone just as unbearable as her.
As there are no comments here on my fav film i thought i'd put one. I found this film amazing. I loved it. i have now watched it 4 times on video and thinking of watching it again this afternoon. It's a fine movie to show the world just how great and touching our movies can be. Rachel Griffiths and Alana De Roma were excellent. And all supporting cast were fab. And the songs were great and well picked for where they were put into the story. Okay i better get back to my h/w now. Then watch AmY again!
I was so captured the first time i watched Amy, i went out, bought it, then watched it again, twice in one day, not bad. Amy is the type of movie you could have tucked up the back of your collection but when watched, will still give the same effect as the first time. It restores your faith in human kindness, by showing a group of people rallying around to help a special little girl. It makes you laugh, cry.. oh boy it makes you cry,and as the cover states.. "you've heard nothing until you hear her song' is so true.. brilliant Australian Movie, should make the industry proud...Rachel Griffiths, Ben Mendelsohn and Alana De Roma, were fantastic.. If you haven't seen Amy,you are missing something special...
