Nine Days

This film had a lovely soundtrack. It also had great artifacts — I don’t know the proper term for this, but basically props in the form of photos and videos of other characters — as might be expected given the general idea of the film. I liked the story a lot because it didn’t really have a moral or message, it wasn’t like Last Night in Soho which let plot undermine moral, but rather it just didn’t have one: the world is big and complicated and scary and it’s impossible to know if we should send people out there hard or soft, ready to fight or ready to be kind. The film just shared ideas about this. And interspersed among these ideas, it shared some moments both beautiful and intense, sad and uplifting. I really enjoyed this.
