'The Paperboy'- Appreciation post

'The Paperboy' recommendation/appreciation post

'The Paperboy' has an impressive cast Nicole Kidman, John Cusack, Zac Efron, Matthew Mcconaughey, David Oyelowo, Macy Gray are a few stars to name. The story line incredible impressive, you can find out for your self and great dialogue. Although the story line is great and I really loved the film. The costume, set interior and location setting of sunny side swinging sixties Florida. Its pretty aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Perhaps it is all above but as per usual colour palettes and cinematography really make a film for me and it really did help make this film a little more satisfying.

The characters are very developed. Kidman plays the stock type of a white trash, blonde bimbo with manipulation skills and strong personality and also an interesting wall filled with letters she has written to men in Vietnam at the time, deciding which one is her special one. Matthew Mcconaughey an investigator returning to his home town and his English sidekick David Oyelowo his some what Dr.Watson to his Sherlock. Zac Efron the paperboy, once a high school champion swimmer (which comes in very handy at the end). And John Cusack the psychopath which he has played too many times, and disturbingly well.



The film revolves around a murder and ends with a far to many too.  There are way to many obscene crushes in this film and awkward scenes but also some very funny ones to such as the famous hyped up jellyfish scene where Nicole kidman has to urinate on Efron, but with all these light hearted scenes becomes some very dark ones also and very surprising endings to certain characters.




This isn't a review just another segment I would like to introduce to my blog every now and then just a little appreciation post on a film and a little reason why I like it and recommend.
