For those of you who know me, you might know just how bias this is. I’m sort of in love with this film! In celebration of Guy Fawkes day though, I thought it would be appropriate. Let’s all begin our awakening today, by watching it shall we?!

First off, I have to say it is slow coming and a little strange at first. When it gets going though, it goes, so don’t give in early. I find myself really loving the last portion of the movie more than life itself. A fair warning though, some things have the tendency to make drown from your own tears. It’s really terrible when you know a certain scene is coming that give you extra feels and you already are tearing up! That’s me with almost the whole last portion. The story telling could not have been more touching and message driven. A great job was done to give emphasis on “all the moments”, that make it come together.

All acting here is superb! Natalie gives me the “graceful girl power feels” that make me want to move mountains, but quietly. Roger Allam is a special kind of evil that gives any bad guy role enough fuel to go for days, as for most of the bad guys in here. Hugo Weaving is without a doubt bad-ass and can narrate my life story with that vivacious voice of his!

I really love the layout and setting in this story that is England. I don’t feel enough goes down there unless you are working for British Intelligence. The music is truly breathtaking as well. It added to my extra emo feels. Well, I think I’ve used feels enough here… so… watch this movie, if you have or want feelings, because it is in large supply 😀
