The Anthem of the Heart

I have to say that this movie was a big surprise. It is a movie that I came across completely by chance, and I was only surprised at the director's name, however, they won me over quite nicely in the end. Even the beginning was very good and playful. I found the main female protagonist fascinating and the things discussed in this movie intriguing. The lessons I got from the movie's producers did not seem forced to me, as it happens with similar productions that want to moralize and can usually be rather annoying. With this movie, I found it believable and let myself be carried away on all those waves and ideas, which are by no means anything to write home about in themselves, yet within the context of this movie were very well presented. Of course, the curse of the astute person is probably not surprising, even though it still makes the whole thing interesting. Plus, I enjoyed the soundtrack, which is essential for a movie centered around a musical. I found some of the scenes very intense and well-executed, and in general, the feelings I had that I was watching something very good continued throughout the movie. However, it not only has a narrative revolving around the main female protagonist, but some other characters and their stories also get a lot of screen time. I think these subplots are also very good and interesting. My overall impression of this movie is that it is very good, and I was very much thinking about the rating I would award. In the end, I decided to give it a full rating, mainly because I would definitely watch this movie again. 8.5/10. (31/03/2016)
