Comments on: “Up” pulls a house… and some heartstrings http://www.jennifermnewell.com/blog/2009/06/up-review/ @jennyjenjen's space on the web Tue, 24 Aug 2010 08:24:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Superman http://www.jennifermnewell.com/blog/2009/06/up-review/comment-page-1/#comment-329 Superman Thu, 11 Jun 2009 04:42:37 +0000 http://www.jennifermnewell.com/blog/?p=314#comment-329 The opening of Up was Oscar worthy in its presentation, especially its portrayal of the miscarriage. Never before have I seen such an honest, yet concise and heartwarming, depiction of one of life's most traumatic events. So truthful it could only have been done by somebody who has not only been there, but has comforted others for the same. This is again reflected near the end when Carl goes and reads the journey book. A bit if a tear jerker, sure, but so honest I just don't know what to say. True of the film as a whole I think...

I'm curious though, did you see it as a 3D projection, or were you just commenting on the always gorgeous Pixar 3D animation? I happened to see it in 3D (glasses and all) and was quite underwhelmed with that aspect. But yes, very funny, very heartwarming, beautiful movie. Great review, I’m definitely right there with you.
