Description: Alice with her husband and children moved to a small town. They are happy together, but fate has prepared them a terrible ordeal. When Alice looked after children of his neighbor and best friend, Teresa, two-year Lizzie was drowned in the pond. Alice barely begun to recover from this tragedy, because of which I hated myself, a student of the school where she worked, accused her of sexual harassment. So, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Alice goes to prison, and her husband can not raise the money to be let out on bail …
Review: The film Map of the World keeps the audience all 120 minutes and not let go, it is an exciting dramatic story simple American family.
The film World’s Map shows a rather realistic way of life, regular life and customs of a small American town in the state of Wisconsin.
Special mention deserves the game Sigourney Weaver (Tadpole and Death and the Maiden), the film has explicit scenes, Weaver is fully exposed in the frame, but it is organic in this role! She plays the mother of two naughty children that are plaguing her with mischief every day, and it is running a school nurse, where children too and not all obeyed.
When does the “black line” in her life, the responsibility for child goes to his father (played by David Strathairn, awesome game), here are a few to mind scenes of “Kramer vs. Kramer,” as men can be hard to chores around the house …
Weaver’s character is strong (can not be otherwise), but entangled woman, a little tired from care, looking for themselves, loving mother, friend and a very generous and kind person! The film Map of the World is strong, dull and with excellent acting.
Review #2: When I saw the movie poster, immediately added it to the waiting list. There have played two of my favorite actresses. Sigourney Weaver has opened for me in dramatic roles after her phenomenal role in “Prayers for Bobby.” Julianne Moore (Savage Grace) at all adore. Ran his eyes over the synopsis and saw what else it will be about the prison. Well, just a bunch of advantages. How then can you resist?
However, the prison theme here is just a backdrop. It’s an old good domestic drama about the ordeal endured by the fate of the heroine Alice Goodwin, the mother of two children and a school nurse. Black rot began with the accident. The daughter of a friend drowned in a pond, when Alice was to look after the girls. Next worse. The main character is sent to prison on charges of sexual abuse of children and abuse them.
Yeah … Fate, of course, not just kicked the main character. But the image of a strong woman who has created Sigourney Weaver, just admire. As she bravely kept in prison, giving his wife instructions on the phone about the laundry and other household trifles! It is only in moments of momentary weakness evident that this is just a woman who needs to be strong to survive all the trouble. In Weaver’s talent I no longer doubt. Just another great role.
It is equally interesting to observe the development of a line of female friendship after a tragic accident. The role played by Julianne girlfriend. It’s a pity that it is only a supporting role. But she got some strong episodes where she was able to express himself well. In general, this duo of two of professionals get the maximum pleasure. By the way, the two actresses have been nominated for a Golden Globe in 2000 for different movies, but they then went around Hilary Swank.
I liked the movie. Now, of course, he already seems a bit dated, but still looked with pleasure. And as an added bonus, here you can still see Sara Rue (star of the comedy series “Claudia, come on!”) In a cameo. If you have free time in the evening, you can look at.
