Oh Belinda (2023)
8/10
Surprised (for good) by the ending
17 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I saw a review in this section which mentioned that the ending could have been better, and I am here to add that "cliché" comment "it has a deeper meaning".

What this film is trying to convey according to me, is an artist's life, be it actor, painter, musician, poet etc. The pain they undergo to give birth of their art... in this case we deal with acting, and even though the actor knows that there exists a real life outside the film or the play they are playing, they could get so immersed in it, to that degree that when they leave, they are not the same anymore, they even could end up with scars.

So, in the end we have this very short scene, which can so easily be overlooked, where Dilara has a scar on her arm. That scar was not there before she acted Belinda, it appeared after she got lost in Belinda's life. Dilara not only has changed, but from now on, she carries the scars of a character which she played.

And I am not saying every known actor experiences this, I am simply implying that certain actors, certain artists (probably very few) which feel deeply they art, have a price to pay. But maybe it is a worthwhile price...
