# Manchester by the Sea is the raw-raw movie-in a positive sense-the 2016 release, even relevant in the repository of cinema works over the years.
Playing with the "lost" element, the film features very real characters, complete with problems far removed from mock impressions.
This life journey follows the Chandler family and the people closest to it. The central figure is Lee Chandler, a building cleaner who suddenly gets a cell phone call to inform that his brother, Joe Chandler, died. Joe had previously been diagnosed with a severe illness related to heart conditions, even predicted that his age would not be long. In his will, Joe is pointing to Lee as the guardian of his son, Patrick. This is where the inner turmoil begins.
When at the beginning I mentioned that the movie is "raw", this is the honest expression. Take this comparison: Europe is the factory of raw films, but, they still provide "spice" so sometimes in one (or several) times appear a dish that smells unnatural, awkward. Most of its form of impulsive action. Meanwhile, Manchester by the Sea kind of not given any spice at all. Like eating, it does not mean bland, but really the original flavor of a dish. Such as rice, yes enough rice is cooked, not yellow rice more or less rice uduk.
On the basis of this also, after menghatamkan Manchester by the Sea I had come attacked by feelings of worry. With honest delivery nan apa adanya, I think the review of this film will not be long enough. Given my belief: let the audience (who have not watched) drifted on a spiritual journey through the film in its entirety. Even so, this review will continue to review the main verdict list.
# Casey Affleck. Manchester by the Sea is about him and his character (Lee) completely.
The performance is difficult to describe. She appeared vulnerable, but also hard, but also humorous, but also merciful, and but also-but also others. Through the soft words that are often dragged (e like sate), we trace one by one the dynamics of his life. From single to single again. From the sea to the nephew (Patrick), until the sea again together again.
# Yes, this is a movie that the script is so symmetrical.
Think of it as a folded piece of paper: the ends of the ends of the sheet like pins are cut in half, similar but not the same. For this reason, the second strongest verdict is the script script.
Maybe I was misguided-maybe not-because I chose to read the script first before watching the movie. Three times also read. The Manchester by the Sea scenario is to be praised, the text is very flowing, the expert is distracting, and at the same time calmingly effective.
And when translated into a movie form, the visual and audial aspects synergize strengthen the mood.
Cinematography Manchester by the Sea rarely uses angle close-ups, and this is not without cause. Through the flow of storytelling, we realize that this technical aspect plays an important role in showing the reality of the character in the perspective of the world around it-not only showing the position of power towards the audience.
# Turning to the substance, we will not mess around with the parallel connection-because it is actually very simple.
It should be understood plot Manchester by the Sea using a mixed formula between past and present. However, that is not a big thing because everything is whirring in the Chandler family and the people closest to it. This is then explored and made the substance "raw" Manchester by the Sea so rich without the need for additional spice again.
Either Lee must be reminded of his past-including the dark-or reunite with his ex-wife, or confronted with the ceplos and the behavior of his nephew, or about the decision to be made regarding Joe's Joe's Claudia Marie, and so on. This film shows the motivation between characters in the family heartwarming and heartbreaking once a bribe.
The most interesting thing is to observe the interaction between Lee and Patrick and Lee with Randi.
Even since Patrick was a kid, his chemistry was so priceless. In fact, in the aftermath of the cause of Lee and Randi's separation, Lee and Patrick's personality is some kind of antithesis. Therefore, these two characters easily fit into my favorite character duet list of all time. Lucas Hedges brings Patrick's picture with conviction-including for his "kid" gestures.
Another case with Randi's presence. If Lee and Patrick's interactions were fun to look at, Lee and Randi's compositions were stifling. Strangely, they have no reason to blame (either one or both). Conditions are not really this is the culprit of our chaos as spectators. Given Randi's screentime is even very limited (approximately 10 minutes) -but the effect is really a deterrent. Michelle Williams's portrayal of Randi is so effective, and the interaction between Lee and Randi "really" at the end is an irrefutable proof of how the film is able to rip the feeling without the need for long duration of the chapter.
# Interaction is the raw material that makes Manchester by the Sea a great movie.
Through the open gaps, every part of the movie plot continues to seek reconciliation efforts that test the audience's patience. More important is not "make peace with the past," but "take the past". There is nothing to forgive, because mistakes are still a mistake, just how we should apply wisely armed with the error in the future.
Kudos Kenneth Lonergan for his charming work.
