Review of Into the Woods (2014) by Ecw — 03 Feb 2015
"Into the Woods" is a very funny movie but a not so funny adaptation.
The entire action revolves around the witch who's well characterized and interpreted by Meryl Streep. Sometimes she's nice, comic and even vulnerable and in other moments philosophical and terrible.
This mark that both the heroes and villains alike have their own problems and daydreams highlights the universality inherent in this work and therefore makes it special. "I was raised to be charming, not sincere." said by the prince is the best note.
Despite being only 5min Johnny Depp doesn't cease to deserve our congrats on his wolf role.
As for the soundtrack, I think "Agony" is the most excels. A good duet and a waterfall in the background.
However, the last part is a disappointment. The dark present throughout the work simply disappears. One feels that something is missing, that is incomplete, lost.
In this world, where a happy ending is a utopia, I think "Into the Woods" is a pleasant sight.
