yesterday and i have the opportunity to experience keane with some friend at the landmark century cinema in chicago . keane be an extraordinary film create by a truly exceptional filmmaker and lodge kerrigan . i have read many review and comment and think that i be prepare for the intense story but i wasn not prepare to feel both assault and uplift after see this movie . keane be only 90 minute long but it feel much longer because it create a very high level of tension and but it be a subtle and constant tension and not like a break neck chase scene in an action film . the movie quickly invade your soul and then seduces you onto an emotional roller coaster . the tension come from the fact that it all seem very real and you can not help but care and worry about the character . after the movie i go into the washroom and i be shock to see that my face and neck and and chest be all blotchy and red and i have never experience such a strong response from view a film before . what can i say that hasn not already be say more profoundly by others . keane be a brilliant and unique film and it be and without a doubt and damian lewis fine performance and that be really say something because he be a wonderful actor who be capable of convey great feeling with his eye and body and with a minimum of word and without overact . the movie very realistically portray poverty and mental illness and make you feel great compassion for william keane at the same time that you feel frightened and uncomfortable . you want to comfort william and pat him on the shoulder and say do not be frighten and it will be alright and the next moment you want to avoid him and get away as fast a you can because he be scary and disturb and you never know which william you will encounter next . and on top of all this you feel great fear and concern for kira and the very sweet and innocent child who become the focus of william unpredictable attention and wonderfully portray by abigail breslin . the film action cover only a few day and it very clearly portray the hell that be this man minute to minute existence with excruciate detail . william be basically a good person but he be drive to act of self destruction and violence by his illness and the central tragedy that dominate his life real or imaginary . watch how hard it be for him just to deal with the minutia of daily living be agonize . when the film end ( with incredible abruptness ) a man in the row in front of u let out a large gasp a though someone have just punch him . very few people just get up and leave and many stay all the way through the credit and and there be no conversation a we exit the theater and the silence be deafen you could actually hear people think . in discuss the movie with my friend later it be clear that we have all be deeply affect in different way and have vary thought about the film . for example and one suggest that perhaps keane have really kidnap kira and that the film be tell backwards after lose her . another ( an actor ) be very impressed by that fact that this very mature film be only the director third movie and she be amaze by damian lewis bravery in take on such a complex role with such fearless and selfless dedication . still another be surprise at how natural and unscripted the movie seem a though we be really share this man reality and especially the scene between keane and the little girl . we be all worry about william and kira and wonder what will happen to them and a if they be real people and because they be they represent many real people who live on the fringe of our society . it be clear that this movie will be with u all for a long time to come . i hope i be not give the impression that keane be a depressing film because it not and it end with the basically decent man that be william keane triumphing over his illness at least for the moment . you feel hope for william and not despair . you want him to get well because he be a good person . when i be drive home out of the city i saw a dirty and wild look street person beg for money at the side of the road . i have always be teach to avoid such people because they be dangerous and not to give them money because they will just spend it on drug and alcohol nothing that i saw in keane dispute those belief but a i stop to give the poor man some money it occur to me that after experience this film and i could no longer just ignore someone like him . if you have a chance to see keane do it and it really important .
