Mirror is a movie im conflicted on.
On one hand i really like it and i think it deserves the 4.5 rating but on the other hand i thought the 2nd act was kinda boring and uninteresting.
I think im more leaning on my side that says it deserves the rating cause even when i think the 2nd act is kinda boring,its still amazingly directed.
The script is really great to.
The acting is great as well and yeah i just think its a great movie but not a perfect one.
Its no morbuis but its alright

A dying man in his forties recalls his childhood, his mother, the war and personal moments that tell of and juxtapose pivotal moments in Soviet history with daily life.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply introspective meditation on mortality and memory that weaves intimate personal moments with Soviet history through dreamlike flashbacks and newsreel fragments. Tarkovsky's portrait of a dying man's consciousness is as much about the texture of remembering, childhood, mother, poetry, as it is about historical truth.
