Maine is a drama movie released in 2018. The movie was directed and written by Matthew Brown. The film stars Laia Costa, Thomas Mann, and Pat Dortch. The movie revolves around the story of a young Spanish woman named Bluebird (Laia Costa). The story begins with Bluebird as she is seen walking through the woods in the US state of Maine. She is a solo hiker who is walking along the Appalachian Trail. The movie covers her journey as she explores the forests and the towns she comes across on her way to the finish line.
She walks on her way and sets her own pace, enjoying the solitude and the beauty of nature. During her journey, she finds a man named Lake (Thomas Mann), who is in his early twenties. They both start walking together, and Bluebird finds a confidante in Lake, who listens to her stories about life in Spain and her struggles with language.
The movie focuses on the conversation between them, which ranges from philosophical to humorous. Despite their contrasting backgrounds, they discover they have a lot in common. They both feel a void in their lives, and they are both trying to find themselves through this journey. They find solace in each other as they walk through the beautiful wilderness.
As they walk on, they come across a variety of people and towns that help them break their journey to the finish line. The sights and sounds of each town and the unique characters they meet provide a colourful backdrop to their journey. They encounter a preacher and a barkeeper, amongst others, and they make choices that lead them to discover new experiences.
The cinematography is beautiful and captures the serenity, beauty and the vastness of the Appalachian Trail. One way the movie does this is by its use of the colour scheme. The color scheme is full of shades of blue and green, representing the lush green forests and the beautiful blue skies. The color scheme changes as the day progresses, following the trail of light, shadows, and emotions.
The movie is not just about the journey that Bluebird and Lake go on but also about the journey that they face within themselves. It is a beautiful portrayal of human emotions, how two strangers can come together, and share their experiences of life to discover things that they may never have found alone.
The movie is shot without a script, and the dialogues are candid, realistic, and flow naturally, as they would in real life conversations. The movie is a good reminder that life is a journey, and the experiences we have along the way are what really matter.
In conclusion, Maine is a beautiful movie that captures the essence of human emotions, the beauty of nature, and the journey of self-discovery. It is a well-made movie that strips away the artificiality of Hollywood movies and emphasizes the beauty in simplistic storytelling. The movie is a must-watch for those who love the outdoors, the mountains, and finding oneself amidst the vastness of nature.
Maine is a 2018 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.0.
