Review of August: Osage County (2013) by Moush A — 22 May 2014

* My Favorite *.

** My best of 2013 **.

After quite a long time I've rated a film 4 out of 5 and I'm exciting because I was going to believe there is something wrong with me (and not with the Cinema and the people!).

First of all I have to tell that the best thing about this film is the what Tracy Letts has done. The Play/Story/Script is perfect! and yeah: P E R F E C T!

One of those crazy, sick, sad Tennessee Williams's things that goes through you and never will come out.

The performances of the crew; from casts to cinematographer, director and even soundtrack composer are all in the best possible forms.

The only thing I don't like is the ending. I prefer the original ending which was the one ends with Violet breaking down with Johnna in her company after all her daughters left the family home.

... and shame on all the critics and usual film watchers who made these funny rating scores! 64% and 68%?! ridicules!

There are lots of lines I love in this film. include but not limited to:

"Charlie Aiken: ... We just buried a man I loved very much. And whatever faults he may have had, he was a good, kind, decent man. And to hear you tearing your own son not even a day later dishonors Beverly's memory. We've been married 38 years and I wouldn't trade it for anything. But if you can't find a generous place in your heart for your own son, we're not gonna make it to 39!

Beverly Weston: My wife takes pills, and I drink. That's the little deal we've struck - a little paragraph in our marriage contract.

--------------------------------------------.

Beverly Weston: Life is very long. T.S. Elliot. Not the first person to say it, certainly not the first person to think it, but absolutely god damn right.

--------------------------------------------.

Barbara Weston: Listen to me! Die after me, alright. I don't care what else you do, where you go, cause I screwed up your life, but just survive. Please!

Violet Weston: I have an Indian in my house!
