Breathtaking

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2007)

Easter morning, 2006. I had woken up early that morning. My mother was already up, and starting to get ready for the day. I had been stating about how bored I was, so she suggested I "go watch that American History movie". I had not heard much about the movie, except for how graphic some of the scene's were. I found the movie OnDemand, and selected play. From the very first scene to the very end I didn't move. I was amazed. I did not even pause the movie for the whole 110 minutes. This film was brilliant, one of the best out there. Never before in my life had a movie stuck to me like this did. For the next few months, and even today, I am constantly thinking about that movie and the intensity of it. The paths they all lead down, and the consequences that they faced because of there actions. Edward Norton's acting is supreme. You could feel the hatred through his voice. The family scenes bring tears to my eyes every time I watch them. This is a true story of hatred, family, and consequences.
