Everything Is Illuminated-Funny Yet Powerful

'Everything is Illuminated'is a very quirky movie. The movie involves Elijah Wood as a odd child who collects everything...and I do mean everything, from crickets to Ukranian potatoes. He sets out to learn about the woman who saved his grandfather. What happens from that simple premise is a movie that is very funny, but still packs a emotional story. I for one didn't know as much about the Ukranian side of the war, they weren't the pretty side of the war. Watching the visuals in this movie left me wanting to read the book to see if the book was as adept at conveying that sense of scenery. Great movie, but VERY odd. I'm sure that if your looking at this website you may or may not have a appericiation for quirky films that are different but aren't boring. If you do watch this movie, if your favorite movie is XXX or anything with Vin Diesel in it do yourself a favor and skip it.

Charles Critique- Watch it(disclaimer: if you like quirky, visually intriguing movies)
