I happened upon this little gem about the history of sound in movies. It swept me up the way any great soundtrack would. I wasn't expecting it.
The film reveals how the painstaking intricacies of sound, the team of creative innovators and many of the most influential filmmakers of our time come together to lift and inspire us.
It is filled with quotable quotes, wisdom about art and life. Such as:
"Everything has emotion and therefore spirit." Ang Lee
"I think the heart has to come first and then the intellect will follow." Christopher Nolan
"When you feel those goosebumps, then you know you've done it right. " Anna Behlmer, re-recording mixer Braveheart
This film is a triumph and testament to the human spirit.

If you've ever wondered what a Tarantino film would look like without artistic talent, this is it. Gratuitous violence. Absurd suspension of physics. Ridiculous plot twists. Yes, yes Tarantino does all that but he pulls it off.
Mercifully there is next to no dialogue. Can't imagine what this hack write/director would have done with dialogue.
It boggles my mind that someone, some someones most likely, green lighted this tripe. Let's hope no one ever does it again.
I'd like to say this film has no redeeming qualities, but I did like the dog. The dog gets a 10. At moments, I thought sure the dog would get whacked. Mercifully no. So there, at least this hack had the good sense not to kill the dog.

Nothing pains me more, when it comes to film, than a great story, a story worth telling, done poorly through bad writing or inept direction. This film manages to do both. We have only one person to blame. Mr. Cooper, please Please PLEASE stick to acting, which even that in this flic was questionable. (Perhaps you were distracted by the lack of a script and longing for better direction.)
Vanity projects such as this nearly always crash in flames. Remember Icarus.
Hopefully Mr. Cooper will learn the lesson and return to what he does so well, act in well written, well directed movies. One can only hope.
