I saw Pixar’s Up last night at the Clapham Picture House, if you’ve never been to this cinema I would suggest a visit. It has a nice little bar and the popcorn is always warm and fresh.
As for the feature, if you want to be taken through a roller-coaster ride of emotions, book your ticket for Up now.
Actually, roller-coaster doesn’t even give it justice…try a turbulent, trans-Atlantic flight, in a propeller plane during a hurricane with only one of those propellers working and a tiny bit of gasoline left. Yes, that is more like the emotional minefield you will endure.
From the get go, and with out giving anything away, I was crying. I cried in the beginning, I cried in the middle and yes I cried in the end. In fact, I haven’t cried this much since my 8 year old birthday present parrot (aptly named Happy-Birthday) was eaten by my 7 year old birthday present cat.
Don’t get me wrong though, there are a lot of funny bits too, just be warned and bring a tissue.
All in all, a very good film, won’t be surprised if it’s an Oscar winner, go and see it.
Awww…Louis, that sounds like a real tearjerker. I’m saving myself for the Fantastic Mr Fox
Love the reports from Burgundy, went last year with my Dad and can’t wait to return…
Sig! I have to stop watching the previews to Mr Fox…it looks really good!!
Oh my god, I had exactly the same experience … last Saturday as well! The beginning of the movie was so sad but so powerful at the same time.
But, yes, we did laugh a lot as well and I think that for a Disney/Pixar movie, they referred to a lot of heavy subject that they usually don’t. Great movie!
Everyone I know who’s seen the movie has had the same experience! But Pixar seems to be where it’s at! Will be nice to see Dreamworks counter attack with the new Shrek and Kung-Fu Panda
