Simply a Beautiful Film - The Tourist, 2010

We have just returned from KinoLora, where we watched the film "The Tourist" (2010). The plot is not even so exceptional and original, though fairly tense and with intrigue, but the packaging is very enjoyable. Beautiful people (Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Timothy Dalton, Rufus Sewell), beautiful clothing and interiors, beautiful and romantic cities - Paris and Venice, beautiful relationships. I must say, Venice is one of the few cities I have visited and yet it has still not lost its charm of secret longing. Familiar and forever foreign.

And so within this magnificent setting unfolds the age-old theme of the secret agent - irresistible, sexy, deft and emotionally controlled - and the financial schemer pursued by the police of every country and nation, always resourceful and, naturally, at the same time clever, charming and quick-witted. Entangled in all of this is a Russian mafia authority with his henchmen, and an apparently accidental, simple English tourist.

The single and central thought around which the depiction of relationships in the film also revolves is what the main female character says - that every person has two faces: the good and the evil, the past and the future, and if you love this person, you must be able to live with both of them.
