Movie #2091 (Disney +) I loved the visuals and the music and some wonderful moments about creativity and the Carpe Deum philosophy. But, I have some negative's. One is the story line --- it was all over the place to me --- esp. in a transitions like the one from Greater Beyond to the Greater Before. Someone likened that to a video game, and I thought --- oh , that's why I didn't appreciate that --- I don't play video games so I was getting confused with what was going on and thinking : how can I kid navigate through this? But the answer is easy--- the kid has some knowledge of video games, and I don't. I still hesitated recommend it to kids because I am more a straight line thinker, and this was like I said "all over" --- but then again, a film that is up with creativity would probably work best with an "all over" kind of plot line --- So I don't fault it for that, as much as that the theme seemed "all over" too --- I thought there were moments that a theme would come out loud and strong (like the scene with the teacher on the steps watching the little kid playing the trombone and getting a good feeling that he had helped her). By the end, though, we aren't sure that teaching is valued as much by him.... I probably missed an important point, but I just was looking for more clarity there. The voices are good --- there are too many Geralds! 3.5 because I wanted it to be better. As far as recommending? I have to think about this one more --- but maybe that was what they were trying to accomplishment here --- to make a think piece about music--- and like Jazz, it appears free and easy and calming, but it can be complicated! and make you think!
