Negative Positive
Title: Soulless
Review: After about 30 minutes or so I gave up on this film. Nothing drawing me in, nothing I cared about, just didn't seem like a relevant commentary on life or death. I loved "Six Feet Under" and I thought Emma Thompson's "Wit" was a superb character film with a gut wrenching depiction of one person's death. In comparison "The Guitar" is a cold bland sandwich. It looks good at first until you actually taste it.A story about a character's death usually explores emotions. What are they feeling? Why (other than they're dying) are they feeling it? So this woman never learned to play the guitar and then uses the last few months of her life to do so. (Yeah right. As if she could learn that fast.) A soulless movie compared to the likes of "Wit" or just about any single episode of SFU.
