I just watched the romantic science fiction film, Upside Down, which was written and directed by Juan Diego Solanas. It stars Jim Sturgess as Adam and Kirsten Dunst as Eden. The main characters live from two different worlds that face each other. They met when they were still kids, however, the law had separated them with Eden forgetting the past. Adam, knowing that Eden was still alive, must do everything he could, even defying gravity, just to be reconnected with his one true love.
I think Kirsten Dunst must have given more passion and emotion in her romantic scenes with Jim just to parallel what the latter offered . But surely, she acted naturally and in a subtle way, which I liked. I just needed to feel how her emptiness was finally filled and how she was again complete being reunited with her long-lost love. I had observed this feeling from Jim.
Overall, I love the unique story the film's talented director had imparted. For me, the entire movie was not just educational (It talked about two worlds in one planet, each had a gravitational pull of its own), it was also engaging and filled with suspense. With all these wonderful effects that were effectively put together, how could you not be thrilled? I love how the two characters defied gravity just to prove their love for each other. Neither the law nor the universe were amenable with their relationship, but they never wavered to fight for their love. Ultimately, love conquers all. And yes, it happens in real life.
Of course, the cinematography was superior. The process of combining two worlds through various amazing shots and angles must had been arduous and meticulous. When scenes showed two or more people from opposing worlds communicate with each other, I couldn't help but stay glued on the screen. I must be very entertained by these particular scenes. This aspect of the film made it really unique. Like when the main characters were still teenagers, Adam would throw a rope up towards Eden, who was from the world above him. She would then catch the rope and tie it around her waste. Then Adam would pull her down just to be closer to her and so that he could kiss her. How sweet was that?
Indeed, this movie isn't geeky at all. Yes, it has Science and stuff but definitely, it has love, which is the greatest value one can impart to others.
