I very much enjoyed the movie I thought it a provoking film that challenges conventional storytelling its blend of mythology ,and modernity a narrative that forces us to confront the dark aspects of desire ,and ambition
Saltburn is a story about oliver portrayed by barry Keoghan his infatuation with felix catton which start at oxford, quickly spiral into a obsession leading to some morally ambiguous, if not outright disturbing, choices what starts as a seemingly innocent attraction soon morph into something dark ,and uncontrollable. Struck me most about this saltburn it brilliant use of Greek mythology as narrative tool the parallel drawn between Oliver's action ,and the story of theseus ,and the minotaur add a rich layer of symbolism. This mythological reference its integral to understanding Oliver character, and his journey. It also delves into the themes of social class ,and dichotomy between public persona ,and private reality in age where social media often dictates how we present ourselves to the world Oliver character becomes a vessel for exploring these themes, making us questions the authenticity of those around us.
The performance in the film was noteworthy barry keoghan deliver a nuanced portray of oliver balancing vulnerability with an underlying sense of menace the supporting cast including Jacob elordi ,and rosamund pike also contributed significantly to the film's overall impact I've been skeptical of them, but I was impressed while it may be nor be everyone cups of tea I was grossed out by two scenes you know saltburn is definitely worth the watch.
