The film "the Gift" — of those pictures that are spent on them money and time. Made in the patterns of Thriller 2014 "Disappeared" it looks even more complete and accurate the development of the plot.
History, if we consider the facts and events about something how ran into former classmates and again together. White crow in school, Gordon seeks to have friendly relations with now a successful — business and family life — Simon. When he does not receive reciprocity, it starts to spoil the life of a former classmate. What can't help it there are people.
However, in the film is laid another meaning, not about the clash of different characters, and the reward, or "as you sow, so shall you reap." In the past Simon was distinguished for kindness and caused a deep emotional upheaval in the life of Gordon, it and a the opinion of Gordon, the moral right to respond to him the same, even after 25 years.
The film is very good and keeps the tension in all its glory turns to the final, not giving all the answers, but it clearly raises questions. Here rises and the theme on how many people should be responsible for their actions and do right others to force him to answer if he wants the eternal contemplation of the "accumulated sins." It seems that the patience of Fate can long to be filled with bad things, but at some point will overflow and is available from head.
Without a doubt, great merit in entertainment film belongs to the actor's work — well played by Jason Bateman, is more known for Comedy roles (e.g. "Hancock"), who performed the role of Gordon Joel Edgerton, who made as an actor and as a Director and even screenwriter and also looks decently Rebecca Hall in the role of wife of Simon.
If to speak not only the indisputable merits of the film, but and the moral and psychological side, it may seem that "outsider" is done. What boy hunted in school, dreaming of the rematch? And the point of view that all in life, you have to pay quite a fair in this film. However, if you look deeper, the film is not giving someone a preference, he is so well made that reflects all side of the diamond, nothing to simplify.
How would not disgusting acted with Simon in the past, he do not blame much of happened by Gordon. His contribution to the misfortunes of guy is limited to his actions — how responded them on other points surrounding Gordon's people, their job in the actions of the Simon led. Again, at meeting with Gordon he does not seem ugly, on the contrary, over time behaves in a very civilized manner. It is impossible to deny that Simon is able to behave like a pig and dirty play, but and the absolute rejection of it doesn't. He has left the past in the past, started a family, working on career. One thing like everything develops quite another, if not one gets nothing like from Gordon. In fact, Simon gives him the chance to feel strong, smart and the power, because we know any details about Gordon, evidence of its successes. This man who 25 years after the traumatic event event, ready to give the chances to find out something, to intrude, to judge and to pull people over the strings. It would seem that this guy Simon hurt you in the past, stay away from him similar . but as Gordon under hypnosis and cannot leave her past in peace, accusing him of in the problems of the present.
Interesting and the behavior of Simon, who enters into the play of Gordon, and do not prevent all contact immediately, escaped with polite phrases. It as if giving Gordon a chance to prove himself, presumably, his desire to occasionally humiliate someone. Not if he tend to this behavior, in particular the constant lies, he could to avoid many problems. The fate of the fact gives him the chance, but in a similar situation with a new person, Simon behaves the same as once Gordon.
Wife of Simon, though, and like classically positive character, periodically changes with him places. Then it is accountable to her husband as girl, she climbs in life and he dictates how to do what if he her son and it right to indicate an adult male. Also not clear up end problems of past that to still affect she was indisposed.
The theme of redemption is developed in the present — not because of the way Gordon. On the contrary, seeing how life itself shows Simon that there is a limit, I understand that the justice of Gordon too. Not punishing if he Simon and of creating something for themselves, and bother of risky actions that have not to know what can cause?
Contrary to the situation on really the end of the film imbued with pity it is to Simon and Gordon seems to Cossacks to the original idea of justice as a vigilante. Because his vengeance is affected not only those who made it children's tragedy.
