Masterful Movie
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Blistering performances.
It's unique in its style and story plus the songs are beautiful.
The book of life is an animated adventure about love & self-authenticity, framed in mexican's culture & costumes about their afterlife view.This movie carries exceptional quality and colours on characters clothing, sceneries, spirits; probably the best I've seen in animated movies. Perfect in detail!The whole adventure comes with both entertaining & touching music, keeping the viewer commited to this fascinated world.A movie.. or rather a journey you can't miss!
Manolo, a young man who is torn between fulfilling the expectations of his family and following his heart, embarks on an adventure that spans three fantastic worlds where he must face his greatest fears. The Book of Life was one of the few films that i saw back in 2014 that was not just beautiful in the outside but on the inside as well for example the characters were fantastic especially Manolo and Maria, there was a bit of singing here and there and gave the film more depth and also more drama. But i also loved how much they respected the Mexican Culture and that was one of the reasons why i loved this film because it was so down to earth and so beautiful i mean every single character in this film was so down to earth and lovable even the villains at one point. Overall i'm gonna give The Book of Life an A+
Two best friends fight for the hand of beautiful Maria, but their love battle is more than that, as the gods of the dead had bet on who will win her in the end. Okay, okay, I shouldn't be too hard on this one. The colours were really beautiful and some parts of the story really good. However, some times the story felt rushed and the characters under developed, not to mention that it didn't make much sense. Of course you could easily guess which one Maria will pick from the beginning, so the suspense from there was gone. Well, the twist was nice, and the action was satisfying, but other than that, the book of life won't be a movie that I will remember, so 3 out of 10.
