Most heart I have ever seen on screen...

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2007)

Obviously, redemption to some people is redeeming yourself in the eyes of people you loved - your loved ones, or redeem yourself for some bad things you have done. This is not true. People redeem themselves for themselves. They are in a battle with the other person inside of themselves and don't know how to change it, but they know they want to change it. This was the case for the two leads in this movie. Crowe's character, Ben Wade. And Christian Bale's character Dan Evans. Crowe's character was trying to just escape himself in the beginning. He wanted to get away and try something new. Dan wanted to just be something that, in his heart, he knew he wanted to be and what he SHOULD be. When these two characters finally meet they take themselves through a roller-coaster of change and redemption...atonement...as the plot unfolds. That is what this movie is about, self redemption. It's about growing into who we feel we should be and what we consider important in our lives. This movie has the most heart I have ever seen. If you appreciate great movies; see 3:10 to Yuma
