Birth (2004)

birth dvd coverRemember the movie Sixth Sense – well Birth is a bit like it, trough the plot is different of course- and so are the actors. In Six Sense we have two stars Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment, while in Birth we have Nicole Kidman and Cameron Bright ( who is actually a pretty good actor judging by his filmography ) . The acting was fine – and the only think that I didn’t like was the scene at the theater, when for like 30 seconds or more I was watching the face of Nicole Kidman – I got what the director was trying to emphasize in that scene , but 10 seconds or so would have been just enough. Birth is a good Mystery film, because it really keeps you interested in the story. It is full of symbolic of life and dead and has a lot of meaningful scenes. I was surprised to see that is has an R rating for sexuality – as there is just one sex scene, fairly short and honestly the movie would have been even better if it wasn’t in it. The soundtrack was good – made of classic music and suspense – typical for this genre – trough I felt that some scenes could use some more music on the background.

    Cameron Bright mysterical awesome, he’s able to reflect an adult child experience. Althought Birth has R-rate the movie wasn’t mean for sex nature, it more about love

    I suggest take a look for “Godsend” and “Running Scare” also which also cast by Cameron Bright,

    I am going to watch Godsend tonight – thanks for the suggestions Michealangelo – will write a review for it as well I guess – if it is as good as Birth – trough I guess it will be as I saw some other reviews about it .

    I waited for this movie about 8 months, so I could go to the movies. I saw the movie and I was amazed, very good acting from Nicole Kidman and Cameron Bright.
