GET AWAY

Today's film was

L'homme qui voulait vivre sa vie / The Big Picture (2010)

with Romain Duris and Neils Arestrup.

This is a great picture of a guy who has everything, gets in a lot of trouble and gets away.

Conflicted and torn, he gets a new identity only to find that he cannot escape himself and not in the ways we would figure.

He is caught in his own talents and skills.

He cannot help himself from being successful and therefore visible.

The french title is more descriptive, "the man who wanted to live his life"

There is a flaw in this film and that is the ending which no one other than me seems to like.

I thought it made complete sense and was exciting too.

I love both main actors. They have a person, that is sure, but in this film Duris' is turned upside down.

I would be happy to see it again even though I have the ending now. It is not about the ending, more about a beginning as the old lives are sort of horseshit and he knows it.
