Ben Tibber is good in the leading role but it the adult actors who really make the magic of the film. Jim Cavizel gives a beautifully low-key performance as David's best friend and serves as a sort of guardian angel figure. Francesco di Vito plays a character David meets a couple times and has some humorous moments to lighten the relatively bleak atmosphere of the film. But best of all is Joan Plowright as Sophie who should have recieved a Best Supporting Actress nomination. She is a very kind, sweet grandmotherly woman whom David eventually confides in. Probably her finest moments were.
1.) When she's painting his portrait. "I'm having such trouble with your eyes. Such serious eyes. Such a serious face."
2.) "Now, stand back and tell me what the picture says to you. I see a very intelligent, very serious person. But there's something about the eyes--such sad serious eyes--but's that all I know because he doesn't want to let anyone in"
3.) When she's lying to the border guard, trying to make an excuse for letting them pass without his identification cards. "Couldn't you just relax the rules a little? All he wants to do is come into your country, overthrow your government and rush right out of it."
4.) When David tells her he works in the circus. "The CIRCUS?" (Startled expression) "Oh...well...that must be VERY interesting." The look in her eyes as she sips her tea while saying this line is priceless.
5.) "I wouldn't DREAM of turning you into anybody for any reason. David you don't have to tell me anything. I just want you to know that you're quite safe here and everything is going to be allright."
I really liked how the plot is interrupted by a series of flashbacks from David's life and how at the end they all come together and make sense like the pieces of a puzzle. It's a very original, innovative technique that works quite well here.
There's only two things I wish were different:
1. When David tells Sophie everything at the bookstore we get another shot of them leaving in a hurry. They could have shown David telling her everything but have the dialogue muted and only the music rolling. A close up of Joan Plowright's face during her reaction would have been an excellent touch.
2. When they get to the police station, Sophie gives the man behind the counter David's identification cards and he dials a telephone. Wouldn't it have been an awesome touch to show the blond woman (from the flashbacks) pick it up and see her reaction--possibly an outburst of joyful tears or a fainting fit?
The costumes and sets are wonderfully detailed (especially the mansion in Italy) and the Academy should smack themselves for not even nominating the cienematography.
All in all a very interesting, fascinating and excellent movie.
David escapes with only his ragged camp clothes and is directed to a spot in the nearby woods where a sack of items is buried to help him on his jouney. The youngster playing David is very good in his role listening to that voice in his head repeating the instructions and warnings as he ticks off the instructions. As a viewer I wondered who owned that voice, why was he helping this boy, who would he find at his destination (if he makes it).
David encounters various people; some who taunt him, others who want to help him, but he trusts no one. He has to be guarded plus he keeps having flashbacks and dreams of trauma he's witnessed or experienced.
Because of living in the camp environment he doesn't know simple things such a "family" (what that actually means to have one and be a part of one), a world globe..... so he appears to others as sort of backward. He's smart, and brave, and a quick learner. He keeps moving towards his goal... Denmark, where he is to give a sealed envelope to someone. From that point forward he doesn't know and neither do we.
He meets the nicest lady who's and artist; she becomes pivotal in his life but you'll have to watch to find out why.
We find out lots about David's past as we also learn about his future.
A wonderful film!!!
James Caviezel, Joan Plowright, Ben Tibber ~ all terrific!
