Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine may have won several Grammy Awards, sold millions of albums worldwide and judged the hit TV series The Voice, but in the movie BEGIN AGAIN, he gets upstaged as the spotlight turns to actress Kiera Knightley.

“My character has pretty much died in everything I’ve done for the last five years,” she jokes. “I decided I’d like to do something where I didn’t have to go through heavy emotional turmoil and die, if at all possible.  There’s a touch of emotional turmoil in this, but in the end I found it to be incredibly hopeful. It’s rare to find pieces of work that are so full of hope.”

REEL DEAL: Third Person REVIEW

Mainstream cinema would have rarely have a deep cryptic themes as to ensure the enjoyment of the audience first without going beyond into a deeper and intellectual approach. Third Person by Paul Haggis brought heavyweight casting into a film that would bring the audience into a blackhole of words, plots, twists and metaphorical analogies.

As of this writing I am still confused on how, when, where, and who (which I think may need another screening of the film to get some additional comprehension from clues and symbolism hidden with every scene.

From the title itself, it does have a relation of having a third person narrating the story, but not all of it. It's like inception with layers of other worlds yet still connected to each other as way of convening to their common denominator.

The casting is probably the best things about the movie. Leading the cast is Liam Neeson which plays the writer and the central character in which all are linked to. Some may think there is an element of thrill to the execution of the movie, well there is but very subtle. Reactions would also vary from they way you may view things.
