The Congress (2013)

Princess Bride it ain't

Warning: Spoilers
I'm always a fan of animation, yet this was somewhat a cross between the old cartoons of the 50s with a touch of Heavy Metal, (the first one). The story line left something to be desired for me, it felt disjointed, it was an almost sell your soul to the devil feel. It seemed to be too many genres, you have drama, animation, sci-fi, romance, war, fantasy, you get lost in the telling of the story. Then ending seemed almost to me, anti-climatic, and it made Robin Wright out to be a has been in the movie, who then turned into somewhat of a savior, a person who pushed against the establishment after giving in.

**Spoiler Here** Whole Movie in a nutshell! It was a contradiction, here you have an aging actress who was told this is it for you, do this or it's over, so she does it, you move 20 years in the future, she goes into a cartoon world, she rebels, then gets deep frozen for 20 years, she awakes still in cartoon world just to come out into the real world and be in some kind of holocaust world finds out son is in cartoon world then goes back in...end of movie.
