a wondrous drama that poetically depicts one man's ups and downs.

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2020)

This movie is one of my favorite movies for many reasons but mainly because they represent a real story in such a cinematic manner. That is this such a good movie that if you were to watch this without context, you would not guess that it's a true story. That is not to say that the best movies are the most unrealistic ones but that the cinematic technique was so smooth that it's hard to think this actually happened. The cinematic techniques, the message, and the performance delivered by Russell Crowe help make this movie what it is.
