Review of Breakfast on Pluto (2005) by Cheyenne — 27 Jun 2009

... Chapter 1: How I found it ...

Everything started with Liam Neeson. The man who used to be Julia Roberts' husband for some time in the past and who played legendary Herr Oscar Schindler in that well-known movie. Considering him to be one of the most outstanding actors and kinda surety of high quality and deserving attention work, I've picked some of films with his participation. It happened so that one of the latest was Breakfast on Pluto.

... Chapter 2: How I started ...

I should admit that the only thing that made me keep watching Breafast in the very beginning was Cillian Murphy's sweet and already familiar face. I just couldn't at once remember where I'd seen him before not so long ago (it appered to be The Edge of Love with Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller). But when I'd succeded to find it in my memory my interest to the movie was at its' lowest level.

... Chapter 3: How I heard "Not a dog but planet" ...

All of a sudden it happened so that I found smth special and interesting for myself. So my interest started growing since I'd heard the words about Pluto. It was very strange compilation - words full of romantics and that untidy biker who said them. Then there was more action, showbiz and guns. Hot mixture and nice demonstration of the spirit of the time.

... Chapter 4: How I asked "Why is it pink?" ...

Then the sweet thing Cillian arrived in London. And did you see that? Did you see that umbrella in Kitten's hands? It's really, really hart not to notice that masterpiece. But why? I ask Why is it pink on the poster? Actually it was aqua. And it was incredible .

... Chapter 5: How I caught "You're Breakin' My Heart" ...

Ans here comes the other thing I should have noticed at the very beginning. Unfortunately I've not. The movie'll be almost nothing (merely not the same thing) without its' soundrack listing. And I got it only when I heard "You're Breakin' My Heart" by Harry Nilsson. All the music in the film's so easy to feel, and it undoubtedly reflects the mood, specific and colors of 1970s.

... Chapter 6: How I doubted ...

Anyway there used to be, there is and there always will be some argues concerning Patrick "Kitten" Braden. You know what I mean. I swear I'll never never be able to make my father or some of my friends (either boys or some girls) to watch the movie about "a transvestite prostitute". And it really makes me wonder if our society's ready for such films or they're made only for that part of people who has strictly neutral position in such questions.

... Chapter 7: How I tryed to understand "their" history ...

1970s in Russia. We also had 1970s by the way :) But the revolutionary efforts shown in the Breakfast're quite far from my mind. We've always been the other pole of the world. And our history run the other direction. Could we have the same things here? Probably if we're more open for the West. But when I'm trying to imagine how it'll look like here... I'm scared 'cause I'm absolutely sure there'll be nothing left after such disorders. Such revolutions tear any countries to pieces.

... Chapter 8: How I turned back to the present with "Sugar Baby Love" ...

The final makes all the movie. I say not only! But it turns from some action like searching for smth to eternal values. It turns from past to all the times. Inspite of everything that happened in the story in the very end we're watching love, faith, friendship, devotion, etc. Does anything else matter? As to me, I was thinking about my godchild whom my best friend'll soon born. Aren't such things the only that worth living and believing in?

Thanks for reading ;).

Hope you'll enjoy the movie!
