Mini - Movie Review: Silk
So I watched Silk. Firstly, let me point out that not only do you see some Keira Knightley boob in this, but also that of a pretty hot asian woman. That is one of the great things about movies that come from England versus the United States, they’re not so prudish. Anyway, the theme of the movie surprisingly is about a small town that makes Silk. The problem is that 1 man must travel to Japan to retrieve the silk eggs. In doing so he almost lives a double life. His trip becomes harder and harder each time he makes it. Will he survive? Will he keep Keira as his wife? You’ll get the answers when you watch this movie.
I’ll give it a 3 out 5. It’s good, but is somewhat predictable and I often wonder why certain scenes are in the movie as it seems to jump around sometimes.
A new Keira Knightley movie is out!
Yet another Keira Knightley movie just hit DVD. The movie is ‘Silk’. Naturally I bought it and will try and watch it very soon and post a mini-review for everyone to read! I am thinking I should have time to watch it tonight so the review will come later tonight or during the weekend.
Go see Silk
Since I did a post like this for Atonement I figured I should do one for this movie as well. It’s yet another Keira Knightley movie that should be coming to a theater near you but might not due to the fact that it’s a bit of an independent film that actually premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in Canada.
Here is the plot synopsis (thanks to imdb):
Based on the Alessandro Baricco’s novel this is the story of a married silkworm smuggler, Herve Joncour, in 19th Century France who travels to Japan to collect his clandestine cargo. While there he spots a beautiful Japanese woman, the concubine of a local baron, with whom he becomes obsessed. Without speaking the same language, they communicate through letters until war intervenes. Their unrequited love persists however, and Herve’s wife Helene begins to suspect.
Besides Keira Knightley you may also recognize Kenneth Welsh in the movie. He has starred in things like Stargate: Atlantis (great TV series!) and The Aviator. Micheal Pitt, who was in The Village and Murder by Numbers, also stars in the movie and I am guessing he may even lock lips with Keira at some point. The picture below is Micheal Pitt and Keira.
I’m working on trying to see the movie myself. If I get to see it, I will write a follow up review to this post. That goes for Atonement as well.
