a una seconda visione non perde niente della bellezza e della forza che aveva e ha.
una bambina racconta e vede aldilà di quanto tutti possono e hanno il coraggio di vedere.
un film epico, davvero un capolavoro da non perdere, bellezza, stupore e commozione, senza trucchi, vi aspettano.
e finalmente conoscerete una vera selkie (anche qui ce n'era una) - Ismaele
…This is not a children's movie, not a fantasy, not
cute, not fanciful. It is the exhilarating account of the way Fiona rediscovers
her family's history and reclaims their island. If by any chance you do not
believe in Selkies, please at least keep an open mind, because in this film
Selkies exist in the real world, just like you and me.
On Roan Inish, the girl sees a child's footprint. Then she sees the
child - Jamie! - running on the sand. She calls to him, but he gets back into
his cradle, which is borne out to sea by friendly seals. Of course it is hard
to convince grownups of what she has seen…
…Children deserve not lesser films but
greater ones, because their imaginations can take in larger truths and bigger
ideas. "The Secret of Roan Inish" is a film for children and
teenagers like Fiona, who can envision changing their family's fate. It is also
for adults, of course, except for those who think they do not want to see a
film about anything so preposterous as a seal-woman, and who will get what they
deserve.
…The visuals are beautiful throughout - fog and cloud,
a grassy knoll overrun with wild flowers, the watchful eyes of the seals who
stealthily change the course of boats. The selkie herself with her pensive face
and wild dark hair is also a sight, stirring a stew at the hearth or letting
her child's cradle float in the shallows by the beach…
… It is rare to find a movie so simple yet so
beautifully complex and one that can be enjoyed by everyone, no matter what
generation they come from. For those reasons, John Sayles and The Secret Of
Roan Inish are
acquitted of all charges in record time. This judge thinks Disney could learn a
thing or three about how to do family films by watching and re-watching this
little classic…
