Breathtaking, 10 April 2008

I didn't knew who Escher was, so I didn't expect much when I saw this documentary in Italy. My friend invited at this math fest and I hoped it would not be too bad (I hate math). Now, I don't know what to say except GO see it, get your hand on the DVD if you can. (I tried but it is not out. I want to see it again, and again). The images are simply amazing. I also wonder how animation was able to turn me on too. I don't like computer gadget things, but what I saw there is nothing like what I'm used to see. The people who talk are also quite impressive. Top scientists that turn out to be most funny and real too. Yet it is not the science or the art that got me so enthusiast, but the magic. The fact that human can do that sort of thing. This film is unlike anything I've seen before. I came out of it on a big high, smiling. I'm not sure I understood all the technical stuff. Who cares, I had a feeling of it, and if this is math, then I love math... I also discovered a great artist. I just thought it should have been longer (or a little slower). Anyway, it is my Best film of the year.
