On June 23 The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet (Die Karte meiner Träume) was once again a reminder for me why I like watching sneaks so much. It's a movie that I probably wouldn't have seen after reading about it, but I actutally enjoyed it very much.
T.S. Spivet is a 10 year old boy who enjoys nothing more than science. After sending in his idea for a perpetuum mobile ("Perpetual motion is motion that continues indefinitely without any external source of energy" - thanks to Wikipedia!) he is invited to Washington by the Smithsonian in order to receive the renown Baird Award. However, this is a journey he has to make on his own because his family with whom he is living on a farm in Montana just don't seem to understand his fascination with science.
Admittedly, the movie has some weird moments in my opinion. I think I sighed many times over T.S. Spivet's sudden outbursts of truly nerdy scientific facts which always seemed to happen at the most inconvenient times possible. There are also some scenes which seem very confusing and which need some seconds for you to understand, but I don't want to spoil too much at this point, you can see for yourselves if you watch the movie.
Apart from these little things The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet is a very enjoyable movie with a very intelligent plot, very good acting and a great soundtrack which was difficult for me to get out of my head.
German release: July 10, 2014.
