Buried
Good day Movieweb and a couple of days ago for a cheap offer I purchased myself a Blu-Ray, though my keen interest was not vivid and ecstatic or livid with anticipation and though the first 39 minutes felt wasted this film (Buried) is a masterpiece of the highest order. 127 Hours is still on the highest rank between the two, due to the fact that Rodrigo Cortes didn't set out to make a pumped up, fresh, bright contrasting quite 'heartfelt' film (yes, yes, blood, severed limbs, urine drinking, but a film based upon survival and a man's determination to survive the course mentally and physically in let's just say not a 'short' duration) this is more of a dark voyage upon Paul Conroy's situation not mentality but his own voyage back home, conflicting reacting poises of home life and past present future, and this film hits home to many matters and subjects, to affairs, terrorists, politics, the war, the genial uncured poverty of man!
Paul Conroy is a truck driving who of which has awoken in a coffin by six feet long and has only a glow stick, a torch, a cell phone, a lighter and his hip flask and around to hours to live. So this film is centred on trying to reveal the truth to which why he's in there, which it turns out for ransom, about trying to remain calm, keep a lid on it and get through to his wife. Everything is submerged within 90 minutes', all of his characteristics his past everything masterfully by the scriptwriter and credit to Ryan Reynolds who gives this film it's all and sadly he undeservedly did not get a nomination.
This film has a great mentality and aroma; it seems to hover off the screen, the musk, the sand, the grit, the humidity, the ramification of it all. Ryan pulls through though the first 39 minutes' though with some swift enticing conversations between him and many varied individuals over the cell phone it's still not gripped you, though an unnecessarily weak scene with a snake to pump up the so called volume which this film sustains on its own by doing what it's doing it does kick in and does kick ass.
Its got the pacing spot on in places, it's got the authentic look, the usage of light and the ace title sequence opening up and the sad bitter ending, and the simplicity of the crucial acts of uncontained violence and torture and the system of war and the waging of war and the assumption of having people held for ransom just a mild fault in today's rift social order.
The acting is spot on, capturing every nuance of this character.
A script that has been divinely penned by Chris Sparling and recessed and transplanted off from the page and onto our defined Blu-Ray screens. A definitive piece of cinema, pushing boundaries and limitations and the order of the world's cinematic system, these films namely are the future. 3D, take a hike!
