Before I go to sleep - The return of Swan Australian Nicole Kidman

Before I go to sleep promises to satisfy the movie's psychological horror film, with the participation of two Oscar-winning veteran Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth. The film heightens the will power of the human, when they are forced to fight with thoughts in themselves, find forgotten forgotten memory, enough bravery to distinguish right and wrong to be determined not to let others control your life.

Dramatic factor, thrilled throughout the work

Most US horror films focus on exploiting the psychological depth of the character to bring fear and rage to the audience. Except for that general trend, sleep deprivation is centered around the everyday emotions of middle-aged woman Christine Lucas. A terrible accident caused her to lose memories after a period of 20 years onwards. After waking up, she forgot everything that had happened before and was more shocked when a strange man named Ben appeared next to him, repeating his chorus as her husband. Ben tries to persuade Lucas that their affectionate couple is very nice, with pictures of the couple hugging each other around the house. Lucas made a video of his daily activities to be able to watch the next day.


Lucas's quest to find the truth is a fragment of piecemeal memories assembled slowly. But as the story unfolds, she faces many more emotional feelings. Everything in the past made her suffer, it was deception, loss, despair, torment. She also realized that the things that "her husband" often told completely inaccurate and the only one she can now believe is himself.

Great performance by Nicole Kidman

Australian swan Nicole Kidman, despite stepping through the peak of beauty but still shakes the hearts of the audience with the reincarnation. With the height, white skin and slender body, actress Nicole is often chosen in the role of inner pain, but deep inside is a strong heart. Christine Lucas is considered a serious role in her acting career. On the strength of her shoulders, her immersive roleplayed. Even many moviegoers have suggested that the character does not have enough money to cover all of her acting talent. As a wife, Nicole always mastered all emotions from bewilderment, anger, tenderness, despair to strong love life. An impressive role makes the viewer easily feel sad for her loss, feeling sympathy for the endless pain she endured, feeling hope when the memories gradually unfolded and He also felt resentful of the crime in the film. All of her transmission is very rounded, exalted.

Also undeniable, Nicole's success in Sleeping Sickness is also due to the perfect combination of co-star Colin Firth as her husband. The charm of the deep, dark sinister guy is portrayed very real through each eye, gestures, especially the swinging hand lightning, definitely ruthless. The change of psychology from a gentle husband, standard to a cold-blooded name, the violence is very fast, skilled.

The elements that make up the success of the film

The film's plot is quite lax, many complex interweaving between the present and the past with the knot open continuously creating unexpected factors. Director Rowan Joffe was very clever when using the method of cinematography rational integration with many new situations that make the audience anxious, but still anxious waiting for the next event.


Sound is also a plus point of Sleeping Sickness. Noises sometimes make the viewer jerk. Rattles, dogs barking, aircraft sounds, trailers are set to very timely. The way to regulate the music is very subtle, gentle at times when pressed, making the circuit become lively, more attractive.

The film's atmosphere is dreary, saddened by the scary silence, the same old, tedious color throughout the work. The main scene takes place in a detached house, lonely, everything around is dry, the branches of the tree, the more it creates the overwhelming overwhelming. In addition to that, some of the footage was taken by hand with natural shaking, clearly showing the director's intentions, pushing the trigger element to its peak. This kind of echoing drama is always a great challenge for filmmakers to keep up the rhythm and rhythm throughout, but the Rowan director is in control of it perfectly.

You can watch Before I go to sleep is a psychological film tinted horror, criminal. The story is not too complicated, but it is very engaging, leading the viewer to drown in the details, sobbing, scaring the same character, and then bursting into tears as the curtain of the truth unfolds at the end.
