Last night, I went to see Colin Firth new film “ARTHUR
NEWMAN” that just limited screening in my country. I feel really excited to
watch the film. The film come up with NC-20 rating, it makes me wondering why
is NC-20? I knew there are some erotic scenes and strong languages from the
trailer but I never thought it will get that rating until I watched it. There are a few of sex scenes that I never thought Colin would do. I feel weird and wondering while I was watching it but ENJOY THE SCENES SO MUCH!
Colin and Emily are good chemistry! I think their acting are brilliant. Colin always looks handsome! I like him a lot in wayfarer and skinny jean, so boyish!
The story is a good one but the script and editing aren't good enough to make the audiences peak with the film. Overall, I like it and I can find and get many good points from the film apart from sex scenes which is the best point of view. HAHAHAHAAH

The film is a story about Wallace Avery (Colin Firth) who tries
to escape his old life and pretend to be Arthur Newman, a golf pro. Wallace has
a bed connection with his son and has a dull relationship with his girlfriend
(Ann Heche). He intends to be a golf pro in a golf club so, he start new life as
Arthur Newman.
Along the way to golf club where he plans to work at, he
accidentally found Mike, Micheala Fitzgerald, (Emily Blunt) in the bad
condition. He doesn't hesitate to help her by his good nature as a human being.
After that, Mike decide to go together on a road trip to Terre Haute, a golf
club in Indiana with Arthur who she found out he is Wallace Avery. Mike is a
kind of crazy and unstable person who wants to escape her whole life. She asks
Arthur to sneak into interesting stranger houses along the way they go to golf
club and pretending to be couple then have sex in their house. They both feel
alive again by satisfy their self with sex in stranger houses and pretend to be
couples who own those houses, it seems quirky. The tag line "If you don't have a life, get someone else's" may be the best line to describe a film but not a whole film. It seems to be fun and make Wallace and Mike feel alive until his plan doesn't be as he thought. This turning point lets him to think about his faking life as being Arthur Newman, the man he is pretending to be or being Wallace, the man as he is. If you see the film you will get the point what he loves most and he can't escape or leave it behind all his life.
I've read many of negative reviews but I don't think so. Arthur Newman is a heartwarming film. The film will ask you about how good you are if you were like Wallace Avery. If you see through the film you will see many good points via Colin's character, Wallace Avery, is a good person in nature and kind. He doesn't ignore to help Mike or a stranger who he found at the bus station. He can walk away and leave those people but he doesn't. He is feeling down with life crisis but he never let his soul down. He can forgive Mike and help her to do the right thing. These prove that he just want to run away from his pass not never his whole life and sense of human being that always be in him. For Emily's character as Mike, she is a person who can't bear with her responsible. She scares of what she thought it will happen to her so, she need to protect and hide herself by being someone else's. I think she isn't a bad person in nature, she is just too weak to live in the real world. She just needs someone who love and care her and understand how her feel and most of all someone who can forgive all the wrong thing her has done. The Film makes me think about my life if I were in situation like Wallace's, shall I do like he did? Shall I help Mike? or leave her alone and think it's not my business.This is not a pointless movie, at least it can entertain you THINK ABOUT IT!
