The point of movies is to immerse you in another world, to make you believe you're watching real people going through real experiences. I can't predict what people will like and what they won't like, but I know that for me it was an experience I didn't want to end.
FILME NELL 1994 DUBLADO MOVIE
I hope no one would let the "average" rating this movie has received on IMDb dissuade them from giving it a try. But in "Nell," the result is a quiet poem to the more natural side of our natures.My rating: 8 out of 10 (I really liked it) I just watched this and wow, what a movie. In real life, a wild child might not be quite so inspiring or pleasant to know. The movie's insight is that Nell is more the solution than the problem.
FILME NELL 1994 DUBLADO HOW TO
And Jodie Foster is quite successful in creating a woman with completely alien speech cues and body language - a person who has not grown up learning how to let others know what she feels. There were scenes in "Nell" I had trouble believing (none more so than her courtroom speech on her own behalf), but other scenes generated a true beauty and mystery. Neeson tries gingerly to introduce her to towns, but visits to a supermarket and a pool hall go badly, and he realizes she must develop on her own terms. But to be locked in an asylum would destroy Nell, and besides, she's not mentally ill, she simply marches to a different drummer. The villain is a psychologist played by Richard Libertini, who, like all such movie shrinks, knows nothing of human nature and would solve all problems by institutionalizing the subject. But somehow her innocence and his ethics (and Richardson's presence) defuse the situation, and even in a skinny-dipping episode (necessary to deal with Nell's "fear of men") there is a kind of chastity to the situation. Neeson, as the doctor, is not blind to her charms. Of course Nell is a fully grown, attractive woman bathing naked in the mist of a woodland river, she looks uncannily like a model for a Maxfield Parrish print. Neeson and Richardson, taken to the site by the local sheriff, establish their headquarters on a houseboat anchored near Nell's cabin, and begin to observe her and try talking with her.Īt first her language sounds like nonsense, but eventually a logic emerges, and finally Neeson is able to break down her reserve and win her confidence. Of course civilization insists on finding her deprived. She is perfectly able to take care of herself in isolation, but unfamiliar with civilization. No matter what's important is that Nell lives alone and, once her existence is discovered, she is a potential victim as news helicopters swarm overhead and the curious come calling. It's a little unclear how they survived a motorcycle delivery boy drops off provisions, but, still, the movie glosses over a lot of details. The movie takes place in a wilderness where Nell was living with her mother. Along with Natasha Richardson, who has a somewhat thankless role as Neeson's partner in the case, they inhabit the characters so fully that it's only later, after withdrawing from the emotional experience, that we recognize the movie's fairly shaky premises. That is largely because of the strange beauty of Jodie Foster's performance as Nell, and the warmth of the performance by Liam Neeson, as a doctor who finds himself somehow responsible for her. "You are hungry for silence," Nell tells her friends.ĭespite its predictable philosophy, however, "Nell" is an effective film, and a moving one.
This case history is useful for the story, because Nell must be able to speak if she is to give us her message - which is, as in many such stories, that the natural is better than the civilized.
