How Many Calories In Salad With Dressing

Road to Freedom (The Way Back, 2010) by Peter Weir.


A group of prisoners of different nationalities (Jim Sturgess, Ed Harris, Colin Farrell, Dragos Bucur ...) escapes in 1940 of a Soviet gulag located in Siberia, launching a flight of more than six thousand miles that takes them through several countries to reach India.

anchored in a context of mediocrity as the one that characterizes the state of cinema today, thank you very interesting proposals such as the one offered by the Australian director Peter Weir (Gallipoli , The Dead Poets Society , Master and Commander ...). A Homeric reminiscences clear film, based on real events, and adapting the book The Long Walk (1955) by Slavomir Rawicz.

is a geographical odyssey suffering and survival that seek to address the unfair and arbitrary political boundaries that restrict human freedoms.

The story features a different character set must join forces in their common goal of overcoming the myriad of natural and environmental harshness with which they will encounter along its long journey.

One of the strengths of the film is the changing landscape in which the story (forest, snow, valleys, deserts, mountains ...), benefiting from a extraordinary photography and majestic and panoramic shots that give it some documentary stamp.

Weir gives his film a leisurely pace to scare away those who love video clip, taking time to tell time and provide information about their players.

The distribution line high, highlighting the pride and contained composition and amazing Ed Harris (for good) characterization Farrell makes a rude "urki" (criminal street).

There are The Way Back, however, a number of errors unfortunately affect their final assessment, as that is repetitive in its grounds (which means that sometimes no more than the mere succession of topical stamps on the confrontation between man and nature), that certain characters are vaguely outlined, the decision to let any of them "pulled" by the way, or something hasty final stretch. Fault, in any case, not support the hypothesis that we are facing a great film, and film undoubtedly human value, which is far superior to most productions nowadays come to our cinemas.

Rating: Good .
