User Review

The movie is about the last days or weeks of Maria Callas, one of the greatest American opera singers. I am well aware that many people will now accuse me of being tasteless and generally uneducated and limited, but I can't stand opera. I recognize that it is a serious art form, that they are beautiful voices, that it is the most complex kind of singing, but my hearing does not want to put up with it and perceives it as annoying howling. Sorry.

There won't be much opera (to my delight) in the tape. The conversation here will be more about how a person rethinks their life when they realize that the end of that life is very near. We will also be shown the main milestones of Maria's biography - recognition, love, fame, health. After watching it, I familiarized myself a bit with some factors from the real biography of this person, adding a couple of negative reviews from the viewer, and I must say that there doesn't seem to be much in common between the real events and what we see on the screen. If this is indeed the case, it is certainly a bad thing from a human memory perspective. If it's required to fill the story with colors, feelings and experiences (for example, the scene in the cafe made me feel mad sympathy for the heroine), then it's probably necessary. The only question is whether movies about real people should do that.

This is a very sad drama, which at first, using the mannerisms and plasticity of the opera diva's movements and transferring them into a long and drawn-out narrative, seems about to fall into outright lethargy and prosaicism. But, the hero begins to reveal, the story begins to tell and at some point you already feel yourself in a small world of the main character, sympathizing with him, wanting to pity and help.

Angelina Jolie, without whom the director of the tape Pablo Larraín refused to make this movie, plays very well. Especially want to note that Angelina sings her parts herself and more than half a year took lessons for this. However, the benefit Jolie this movie, of course, can not be called. She has things much deeper and more interesting. And it is also possible and ahead.

Also confused nomination “Operator's work” at the Oscars. With all due respect to the cameraman and crew, I personally didn't see anything worthy of nomination.
