The Savages is anything but a crowd-pleaser. It is one of these films that film critics like much more than the audience. Still, within its niche it’s a little gem.
Sometimes all the elements come together and magic is created; magic fairytales are made of. The story is witty, heart-warming, and plain simply delightful, one that immediately becomes a classic.
This could have been a much worst movie if it was not for Will Smith’s acting, who is able to bring some credibility into this otherwise wild tale. Yet this could have also been a much better movie if less of the zombies was to be shown…
What works for this film is first and foremost its backdrop scenery of India – places, people and culture. Anderson manages to bring some of it to the screen in a convincible way and that’s a treat. But overall, despite the obvious conclusion of the brothers coming together, I was left with a “so what?!” feeling.
A milder version of Hair, Across the Universe is not going all the way, as Hair did but rather resembles more a long music video. And as so far as music videos go, some parts are very creative while others are mediocre.
A sweet simple film. We can use more such movies these days… Two somewhat brokenhearted musicians, from somewhat different cultures, meet and let the music they make together make them, each individually, a whole again. Good performances – both acting and singing. And when at the end of the film you care enough to know what will happen with these characters next, it’s a good sign that the filmmaker and cast were successful in making the story engaging.
