I don’t know how well I wrote it, I hope it's ok. I'm sorry if there are any mistakes: English is not my native language.
Tagging my dear friend @my-secret-shame I hope you’ll like it)
I probably should have written this post earlier, because I watched the movie "In Secret" quite a long time ago, but usually I write review posts about movies without reference to the time of their viewing.
The movie is based on the novel by Emile Zola "Therese Raquin". And if you're okay with classics, Zola himself :) and with movies, who based on classic novels, you should watch this movie.
The literature in this time was intended either to entertain the reader, or to present an instructive story that would be typical of that time, that category of people, that life, after all, and sometimes both. But in the case of an instructive story the purpose of writing the book was to show to a certain a grotesque menace to just society so that society after reading this novel would think about what problems exist people from it's gutter and outside of it, at least has stopped pretending it's don't exist, stopped to hiding them, and maybe start to do something to solve them. Such an instructive story is the story of the young Therese Raquin.
I warn you I haven't read the book yet and it's all just about the movie.
I won't give you many spoilers. I'll only tell you the very beginning of this story so that you'll can decide for yourself whether you'll watch this movie or not.
Therese Raquin lost her mother and then her father, and remained to live in the country house of her aunt, who was her father's sister. Therese is spent her entire childhood helping her aunt with the housework and caring for her cousin, her aunt's son, who had been very ill since childhood.
When Therese grew up, her aunt decided her fate on her own, without asking her opinion. I think at that time Therese had no choice but to resign herself to fate, because she owed everything to her aunt. Aunt decided to marry Therese to her son and move to Paris to open a shop where she wanted to sell fabrics.
Therese who (I think we can say that about her) didn't love anyone yet, but wanted to love (and I think it's obvious to everyone that she didn't love her husband, but just accepted she is his wife now), met her husband's friend Laurent and fell in love with him...
As you may have already guessed, this is a tragic story, but I also want to warn you it’s a dirty and a disgusting story in some parts! Of course I don't want to justify either Therese or Laurent, but I think at the end you start to feel sorry for the main characters anyway, but especially for poor Therese, who, it seems to me, has been a hostage of any circumstances all her life or obeyed to people on whom she was dependent and she’s just hadn't a choice how to live. The rest of her life is only a consequence of what happened with her at the very beginning. And I believe her only independent act was the decision to love, but life denied her even this right...
When I watched this movie, I experienced many different emotions from hatred to pity for the characters, but the last part inclined the balance in favour to pity: when I saw what Laurent (Oscar Isaac) had become, but most importantly what he had done, tears flowed from my eyes. I think you’ll understand me when you'll watch the whole movie to the end.
When you’ll watch this movie, you'll not have a feeling of falseness or affectation in what is happening on the screen.
As I think all the actors are surprisingly suited to the roles they acting. I'm very happy with the casting again.
I recommend this movie to those who want to see Oscar Isaac in a slightly untypical role for him - a man from the 19th century! (We’re often hear about he plays similar roles on stage, but very rarely we can see him in such a role on the screen).
I want to praise the costumes and stylists in general, as well as those of them who worked directly with Oscar! Fantastic! He looks so cool with that hairstyle and that clothes! And Elizabeth Olsen is just wow in this role and looks so great next to Oscar Isaac!
As I wrote in one of the previous posts, I love Oscar Isaac's acting. I can't tell it was perfect in this movie, but I'm very pleased with what I saw!
I would rated this movie with him by 8 in 10.
