Review
I tell you what, folks. I just watched a movie that took my breath away. And no, it wasn’t because of some fancy special effects or wild chase scenes. It was because of the true-life story that unfolded on my screen. The movie is called “Breathe” and it’s one that will stick with you long after the credits roll.
Let me set the scene for you, dear readers. “Breathe” tells the story of Robin Cavendish, a British man who in the 1950s contracted polio and was left paralyzed from the neck down. Now, I know what you’re thinking. This sounds like a real downer of a movie. But let me assure you, there is more to this story than meets the eye.
Robin is played by none other than Andrew Garfield, who you may remember from his role as Spider-Man (or maybe you don’t remember him at all – I don’t judge). He brings a certain charm and vulnerability to the role that makes it impossible not to root for him – even when things seem bleak.
But let’s not forget about his leading lady – Claire Foy. You may recognize her as Queen Elizabeth from “The Crown.” She plays Robin’s wife Diana and let me tell ya, folks, she is a force to be reckoned with. Her love and devotion to him is palpable on screen and will have you reaching for the tissues more than once.
Now let’s talk about the plot of this little gem of a movie. Once Robin is diagnosed with polio, he is told he only has a few months to live – at best. But rather than give up and accept his fate, he and Diana decide to fight back against this disease and find ways to make sure Robin can still live his life to the fullest.
And let me tell ya, folks – they do just that. With determination and innovation, they invent a wheelchair that can move and even travel on planes (which was unheard of at the time). They refuse to let Robin’s disability define him and instead focus on creating a life worth living.
But don’t just take my word for it. Take a gander at this quote from the film: “You’re still you and I’m still me, and we’re still us – even if you can’t move anything from the neck down.” Ain’t that something? It’s a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we are still who we are.
Now I know what some of you may be thinking – “But Mark, does this movie have any flaws?” Well, let me tell ya. It’s not perfect. There are moments where it feels a bit too sentimental or manipulative. And there are some characters that could have been fleshed out more.
But to be honest with ya, folks? Those flaws pale in comparison to the heart and soul of this movie. The message at the center of “Breathe” is one that resonates with all of us – that life is precious and worth fighting for. And sometimes, all it takes is a little innovation and determination to make it happen.
So take my advice, dear readers. Give “Breathe” a chance. Let yourself be swept up in the story of Robin and Diana Cavendish. Who knows? It may just take your breath away too.
