The Air I Breathe
helps us to take a hard look at
circumstances beyond our control. Based
on a Chinese proverb that says life
consists of 4 emotions: Happiness,
Sorrow, Love and Hate; each character
plays a role in which they seem to
intertwine to make The Air I Breathe a
movie worth remembering.
Jessica
Gellar as
Sorrow was quite moving. Sarah Michelle
Gellar is
the one who has to display many facets
of emotions in her performance. Forest
Whitaker has done it again as the
representation of Happiness. He
experiences the thrill of having people
stop in their tracks due to fear. The
actors do an awesome job of giving the
movie goers what they paid for as well
as what you'd expect to see in a movie
from actors such as Kevin Beacon.
This movie needs proper attention
otherwise you might get lost. The
dialogue at times was blunt and straight
to the point. With voice over from each
segment's main character. The
photography was captivating; images and
close ups make you feel as though you
were really there.
There are surprises and many twists. The
Air I Breathe, plays out like a crime
drama. Haunting at times, in the end
you'll be satisfied with the message
that we all must experience true
emotions to really live.
