An Artistic Film :The Village.


>This film is full of suggestion ,which is a lot like the imagination of a young child.Our imagination is never as active than when we are young is it.
>I have been lost twice in a wood in the dark, the village has graphic scenes like this .Once i was 6 years old coming back from a fancy dress party and managed to lose the people that were looking after me .I had to go through a small wood in the dark to reach my house .My mother was a housekeeper in a Stately Home at the time called Buckingham House.
I followed my nose and found my way through the small wood in the grounds,I remember the feeling this gave me.
The second time I was lost in the pitch dark was when my cat was stuck up a very high tree in a private wood .I was with some relatives ,i managed to drop the only torch we had ,very frightening.we found our way just after .
siomilar feelings are evoked by the film *The Village* ,with one addition the girl in the wood is blind ,she has gone to maybe placate some creatures dressed in red that dwell next to the Village.

You are like a spectator while watching this film ,I was intruiged by it because i live in a Village and near 2 woods .
The tension slowly builds up as the film progresses giving us to chance to get to know the people ,their likes and dislikes and interactions .one night they all go into hiding as something approaches .
Unless you like symbolism and supprise endings you might be disappionted ,I wasnt because I like this type of film .it resembles those artistic picture in an Art Gallery that are whatever you decide they mean .
This is a very artistic film with a play on colours, symbolism,and Psychology .It has some good actors and actresses with Sigouney Weaver,William Hurt ,Adrien Brody and Bryce Dallas Howard.
