People say that to love another person from a different
world is hard to maintain and fight for; that is, in terms of social status.
But to love a person from another literal world would seem worse.
In Transworld, though, nothing is as impossible for Adam (Jim
Sturgess) and Eden (Kirsten Dunst). In the film, they live in twin worlds but
with opposing gravity, thus, making it nearly impossible for any physical contact.
Adding up to the barricade is the racism that people were cultured with. Adam lives in the slums down there while Eden
resides privileged in the upper world. Transworld is connected only by a single
structure where people from both ends can work but only for the advancement of
the upper’s way of living.
As some love flicks gives us, Adam and Eden knew of each
other since their teenage years, forgot each other for quite some time, and started
falling in love again opposite the odds. But Upside Down does not grant us this
structure ordinarily. They fell in love on opposing mountain peaks, Eden had amnesia
because of an accident that separated them for a decade, and Adam had to cross
the upper world just to make her remember him- even at the expense of being a
fugitive.
There are a number of tear-jerking moments as Adam exhausts
all means just so they could be together. Most scenes would make you feel
terribly hoping to do something to connect them so all problems be solved. In terms of loyalty and actions, I wish I
could learn from Adam. And when it comes to submission to feelings and openness
to chance, I wish I could find another Eden.
Upside Down, or love stories in general, give viewers
reasons to smile, be hopeful, and get inspired that in this world, you will
find your soul mate or better half. And when you do, make sure to fight for
him/ her.
The film would not make you go upside down, head-over-heels
with remarkable lines nor heart- racing scenes; only a happy ending. Watch it
to lighten up a seemingly ordinary day :)
P.S. Included in
the film are anti-ageing cream and liquid formula for balancing two opposing gravities;
products of Adam’s intelligence. As well as futuristic architecture that
connects the lower to the upper world as designed by Eden. These two, if real
life persons, would surely make geniuses of the next generation.
