To be honest, this typical film might be boring for ordinary and amateur film enjoyer like me because the pacing is very slow, there are no fantastic scenes and actions, eke plot twists in it. However, this film is very thick with the deepening story of the main character. The complexity of Llewyn Davis' character is very well illustrated by the extraordinary acting of Oscar Isaac and WOW He really can Sing! Throughout the film, the atmosphere is very melancholic, sad, and depressing which makes the visuals and music sink me deep to join into the story and sympathize with all the hardships and struggles that Llewyn is experiencing.
The most impressive scene is when Llewyn perform for Bud Grossman, with a full emotions and great performance, but still, in Grossman's eyes, Llewyn is not impressive enough for the industry. The scene felt so realistic and somehow satisfied me. Even though the storyline is relatively flat, there are no super actions or surprises, this film depicts the sacrifices, struggles and realities faced by musicians for a career in the music industry. Digging deep in an effort to achieve success that feels very realistic because in fact the journey to success is not always smooth, right?
Overall, I can enjoy this film as well as being my springboard to be able to explore more genres of drama films with a slow pacing and a focus on in-depth character narratives with hopes for the future, not just films with fantastic scenes or full of plot twists that can impress me, but melancholic musical drama films like Inside Llewyn Davis can also be an inspiration and an entertainment that I can enjoy. Great Movie for showing the complexities of art & success from the point of view of a struggling musician.
