ILO ILO REVIEW!
21:41:00Hey Lovelies,
'ILO ILO' is the film that will get you thinking and
appreciating those around you! Presenting a dysfunctional family and their new
nanny, the adventure on screen will stay with you for a long time!
Tackling issues such as the recession, family feuds and
childhood, the film has a way of presenting the troubles of young life in a
very special way. You sympathise with many and the loss of childhood for the
young male figure makes for an emotional viewing. It isn’t easy to see the neglect,
the young boy faces from his family and for many viewers you will never be able
to forget it.
The relationship between a nanny and child has been
displayed before on the big screen, but in this film it is different and
refreshing as you see the pair rely on each other to grow. This made it an incredible
piece of footage because the child has to face the responsibilities of
friendship and childhood. As well for
the nanny figure it makes her seem a little less important compared to other
films which would focus on her too much, because the young boy manages to take
other the screen and beat away the adults who believe they are the most
important.
The most gripping part of the film was a scene towards the
end highlighting the friendship between the pair. It was something that showed
that adults and children are alike in a lot more ways than one, with the maid
being sacked and the child being expelled. It made their life seem unacceptable
in their surroundings.
Now talking about the location, it plays a huge part in the film,
symbolizing the plot before it happens in an artistic and subtle way, that
doesn’t make it uncomfortable for the viewer. It makes you see in the eyes of
someone who doesn’t understand their full surroundings in a completely
different cinematic experience.
For a film that got a 15 minute standing ovation at Cannes
Film Festival, it is easy to see why they clapped for so long, as it gives a
new look of the 90s and the side of life that was never revealed before. And
because of this I am giving the film…
