True to life -Scary reality
I live in NYC where this movie was shot.
Having visited the UN and knowing that diplomats may be living in any neighborhood, whether poor or wealthy, this movie is very close to real life.
THE INTERPRETER has awesome/scary reality at bus bombing scene where you see fires smoldering and EMTs all over the place. makes you think of 9/11 especially since it is same city. Hard to believe that the scene is only a movie. It is apparently REALLY a blown-up bus.
Altho a fake language is used for the fictitious diplomat, I could never tell.
Well worthwhile buying or renting to feel like you are in a diplomatically turbulent NYC.

Nicole Kidman Needs Sean Penn's Protection in The InterpreterReview created: 04/22/05

I have liked Nicole Kidman for several years and try to see most of her movies. I have enjoyed all of her movies that I have seen and I m sure I ll see more of them in the future. I first saw a preview for her new movie, The Interpreter, a few months ago and thought it looked like it would be good. Sean Penn, another very talented actor, was also in the movie. I had the chance to go see The Interpreter on opening day and I took it. Silvia Broome worked as an interpreter for the United Nations. One day she left something in the booth and went back after hours to get it. While in the booth, she.

It's hard to understand why people can call a movie a psychological thriller, yet deal nothing with the psychology of the mind, nor put any real thrills into the film. The Interpreter is a film which I had really high hopes for when I first saw the trailers for it. With the combination of Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman, there was no way that this film couldn't end up being a great one. Even if one of them didn't fit their roles, surely the other was talented enough to pick up the slack for the film. Well instead of picking up the slack, I fear that they actually made each other worse, and in...

It was Tom's birthday Tuesday so I let him pick what we were to do that day. He decided on a late lunch and a movie. He picked The Interpreter. That sounded alright with me. I mean I do like Nicole Kidman a great deal ever since I saw her in The Others. That's the film that convinced me she could actually act, and I have gone on to enjoy her roles in The Stepford Wives remake and The Hours. She nails it here. On the other hand, Sean Penn just flat gives me the creeps. I don't know exactly why, but just seeing him makes me want to get all violent upside his head. No rational reason here, just..

The Interpreter is a thriller set in the United Nations well, some in Africa (another fictional country Matoba fictional African countries are sure getting popular these days, we recently saw one in Sahara as well!) Interpreter Sylvia Broome (Nicole Kidman) works at the UN, and one night when coming back in to pick up some things she left there due to the building being evacuated for a security alert, she overhears a plot to kill the hated President of that country when he comes to give an address to the General Assembly. Taking this information to the security people the next day, she finds..

Even when you're faced with bringing to life an idea you don't particularly care for, you still are prone to the occasional flash of brilliance. A movie like The Interpreter strikes me as the type of movie nobody writes because they want to. Because they are hired to, maybe. But it doesn't mean there aren't some magically delicious nuggets of wisdom just waiting to be chomped on here. For instance, you might want somebody gone, but it doesn't necessarily mean you want them dead. Voila, a misinterpretation (and incidentally, a kind of "catch phrase" of the movie). "Countries have gone to war...
