I just saw the Adjustment Bureau, starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. I liked it a lot. It had good performances, an intriguing story and great cinematography. The color was good, the camera shots were creative, and the angles were obtuse. New York never looked so good. This film, directed by Gorge Nolfi (Bourn Ultimatum and Oceans 12), was based on a short story by science fiction great, Philip K. Dick. This was vintage Dick. The film had a vintage feel to it too even though it was supposed to take place in modern New York. It could have taken place in the 50's or 60's. The costumes were no help on terms of dating the piece, but he Adjustment Bureaucrat wore suits with skinny lapels, thin ties, and narrow brimmed fedoras. They did not carry electronic hand-held devices as you might expect, but rather books, or manuals with mysterious diagrams that pulsed electrically from time to time.
The movie is essentially a love story of two people who were fated then "unfated" to be together. This was a case of two people who fell in love and that love was so strong that they were "ruined" for anyone else. I hate it when that happens. They had to exert their free will over their predestination for everything to work out for them.
This was a great movie to watch and I give it "7 Bells."
