![]() ![]() ![]() It describes the man himself: the tall, erect physique and the stretched-leather gauntness of his features. A Perfect World is accurately titled on terms of Costner's track as it is fair and exhilarating equally.When you think of Clint Eastwood, one of the first words that comes to mind is lean. The gem-like sweet and sensible conversations between Costner and Lowther, layered screenplay that enfolds eye popping revelations and Costner at the heart of it who fuels this allegory are the high points of the picture. Armed with a gritty script by Hancock's whose details are off the hook, Eastwood offers these characters deserved and palpable surrounding where he might be weak on few sequences but never vulnerable. Eastwood is supporting decently but fails to create the anticipated magic on screen althoughh Dern deliver unflinchingly as always. Costner oozes fair trial in his portrayal with bold nuances that you may get afraid with, adored with and be affected with instantly. The narration is elaborative with strong and exquisite script that is perfectly balanced to offer the anticipated cinematic experience especially on such large scale. The live locations, mesmerizing visuals and neat road trips along with stunning camera worth that elevates the momentum. The background score isn't extraordinary but well crafted along with stunning cinematography and fine editing. Eastwood's world in here is surprisingly calm and fair than we usually get, it doesn't rely upon gunpowders and explosives but meaningful essential morale projected through Costner's ideology and fair deeds. Distributed in long bold varied highly pitched emotional sequences the feature flows fluently where not only the verbal sparring but the silent pitches on screen too chills down the spine. The father figured Costner and a disciple of his Lowther, has an amazing chemistry to feed off the audience easily in its long course. How amusing to see the 'Casper' connection, given the directing/acting Clint Eastwood would later make a cameo in the live-action film almost two years after this was released.Ī Perfect World is a character driven drama about a guy who is on a run along with an abducted child with whom he grows an unbreakable affection. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it works as a film for sure, but given it tries (too hard?) to attempt thought-provoking and deeper meaning I think it falls over itself - logically, I couldn't get on board. Yet, despite that it is entertaining, I cannot deny. They could've wrote him in so many different ways, to give him a positive reason for what he does. It shows a number of events that you can tell are supposed to make you connect to Butch, but I just couldn't - he is super unlikeable, like the very first thing we see him do 'on the outside' defines him and the whole film. There are many a time where I was just like "Huh?". It's fun to watch, but I never once felt a connection to root for Kevin Costner's Butch. I completely get the angle the filmmakers were going for, I'm just not convinced they pull it off. The reason that I'm split is because of how it portrays the lead character. I'm a little split on 'A Perfect World', but one thing that is for certain is that I definitely enjoyed watching it. ![]()
