Dear Frankie

Submitted by skykid on Friday, 2 December 2005Comments

dear-frankie-1I just watched the UK movie “Dear Frankie “– gosh a sure thing – this movie is full of emotions. I think that everyone who sees it – would feel them. The main character of the movie is Frankie – 9 and half years old boy who is deaf – but that isn’t really that much important as he does have a great personality . You should see him writing the A in Deaf when one of his classmates tries to bring him down. Frankie miss his fatter terribly and writes to him often – only it is not his dad who writes back , but his mom – I don’t want to include any spoilers – so I would just highly recommend this movie to you. At first I was heaving a bit of trouble picking up the English accent , but in a few minutes got used to it – the movie did not have subtitles, which was fine by me as I generally don’t like movies with subtitles anyway ( with exception of anime movies – most of which are in Japanese as you know ). The moments which Frankie shared with his “ dad “ ( you will see for yourself why I am using the quotes here ) reminded me of my own dad – who is away now – and I am pretty much in the situation of Frankie – writing to him , only am using yahoo messenger – rather than mails. There were quite some moments in the movie I could relate to myself.

The music is well chosen as well and adds to the overall atmosphere – I do not know the reason but UK movies seems to be much better made than any else – on a psychological base if you want to call it that way. Like Billy Elliot, Dear Frankie would make you feel.

It is about 3 am here and I am going to watch another movie – I spent the whole day in bed so no wonder that I do not feel like sleeping now.

see trailer , more information , slideshow from the movie

  • You can still see it as everyone can form its own opinion of a movie - speaking of Barens O that is - it has few interesting scenes as well - but it is nothing like Dear Frankie - which is just a masterpiece
