A history of overcoming, this is the impression that The Hidden Beauty (Collateral Beauty) goes by. Everything about him exudes an exciting moral lesson, from the title to the premise, which shows a businessman who loses his will to live after the death of his life.
The plot intertwines several stories, all with a theme of overcoming. The starting point is Howard (Will Smith), a successful advertising executive who falls into depression after losing his daughter. Your colleagues Claire (Kate Winslet), Whit (Edward Norton) and Simon (Michael Peña), concerned with the company's situation, decide to interfere. The three discover that Howard, in an outbreak, wrote letters to Death, Love and Time and, in the hope of proving that he is unable to maintain his position at the company, hire the actors Brigitte (Helen Mirrenn), Amy (Keira Knightley) and Raffi (Jacob Latimore) to get through these elements and talk to your colleague.
The script is developed by exploring each person's personal problems, which the actors' advice also end up helping. Throughout the process, there are small signs that the actors are more than they appear, leaving the viewer to believe or not whether they would really be Love, Death and Time.
The feature shows exactly what it promises: Hidden Beauty, in different ways, through completely opposite problem solving. The message is beautiful, but it is inevitable to feel that something is missing. Perhaps it is the lack of a difference, even though it has a well-constructed plot, it ends up being just another exciting work with a life lesson, without any addendum.
Another problem in the script is the little exploration of Love. It seems that she is only there because you cannot talk about feelings without love, but her part is small from the beginning, in the letter where there is only "goodbye", her arguments are very simple and the outcome little explored.
The cast is the real highlight of the film. With strong names, who manage to deliver the necessary emotional load, The Hidden Beauty it manages to fulfill its role of moving and serving as a reflection of life, but in a very simplified way. Those who like works that explore emotions will undoubtedly like this feature, but those looking for something original, will find it very common.
