Everything is Illuminated (2005)

[fkid]

What do people think of this film? I was born in Ukraine and this movie definitely interests me and looks very good from the trailer. With beautiful music from a band called Devotchka near the end of the trailer and starring Eugene Hutz, an authentic Ukranian; not some American putting on a silly, fake accent and having said all that the book was very good so this ooks to be a wonderful film.

i watched for the trailer a couple of weeks ago and i must say that im really looking forward for this one, the story looks interesting and we'll see how elijah wood will play his roll.

Based on the acclaimed, best-selling novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, "Everything is Illuminated" tells the story of a young American Jewish man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather--in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion.

The journey begins as a comic nightmare--with an eccentric trio of paid "expert" guides sorely lacking in expertise: a cranky grandfather who insists on bringing his unruly seeing-eye dog to help him drive, and his over-enthusiastic grandson, whose fractured command of English, passion for retro American pop culture, and inability to shut up threaten to make the worst of every situation. But what starts out as the tour from hell turns into a surprisingly meaningful journey--with an unexpected and powerful series of revelations that will indelibly change all of their lives.

Re: Everything is Illuminated (2005)

i liked the movie, it was pretty good... having read the book first (which i really enjoyed) i think the movie was a bit of a let down... the parts that were diff from the book i'd wished weren't and the parts that were the same as the book were pretty much exactly the same as they were in the book... if you are a reader, pick it up, there is quite a bit in there that wasnt in the movie - definately worth the read
