Review - Closer

A 2004 movie, cast by Julia Roberts as Anna, Natalie Portman as Alice/Jane, Clive Owen as Larry and Jude Law as Dan. 

The image on the left is one of the best scene in the movie. I have to give credit to the beautiful faces of Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman, they look amazingly beautiful in this movie. I have been watching their movies all this time, and I may say that they look great in this movie. 

Anyway, I was attached to this movie firstly because of the soundtrack which is The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice. You will hear it at the beginning of the movie and at the ending. So, when I see it in HBO that they're going to play this movie, I was excited, and last night was the right time. 

The movie tells about 4 people, two couples, the first couple is Dan and Alice, the second couple is Anna and Larry. Dan got bored in his relationship with Alice, which was a stripper, and tries to flirt with Anna. On the other hand, Anna meets with Larry accidentally, and finally got married. 

The two couples lives with their life. One is the modest type, the other is kind of middle class type. One day, on an exhibition of Anna's photo, Larry meets Alice, and somehow Dan and Anna rekindle their romance. As a sign of love, Dan honestly admit to Alice that he has an affair with Anna, which leads to Alice disappearance. It also happens with Anna, where he finally come out and honestly spoke to her husband that she had an affair with Dan and wish to leave him. 

One of the scene that every couple that went jealousy and faced with affairs is they become eagerly questioning every tiny little bit of  thing that the other one doing with their partner. This scene was amusing and also could become a learning session for couples. Finally, Dan and Anna become together with their romance, until Anna have to ask Larry to sign her divorce papers. 

How about Alice? Well, since she left Dan, she become a stripper once again. One day, Larry meets her, and eventually with the anger left because of the affairs of their partners, they sleep together, well at least that's what Larry said to Dan when they meet. 

 I kind of confused with Anna's character in this movie. She moves quite fast from side to side, it's like she does everything without any prior thinking. Although, if we see the other characters is also weird in their own way, which made this movie more interesting. 

I like this movie, although Jude Law looks incredibly geeky, but this is quite a good movie. I gave this movie 3,8/5 stars!
