A punch in your stomach

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2007)

Absolutely astonishing. Nomination for Best Film, how about that? I still feel in coma after watching this movie.
Legends of the Fall was a great film, but no doubt that this is Edward Zwick at its best. And so do the actors: Djimon Hounsou once more in a fantastic supporting role (as in Gladiator), and Di Caprio is definitely no longer a cute boy: Departed showed it, and Blood Diamond absolutely supports it. Not that Departed and Babel aren't good movies, but, let's face it, it is rare to have a film where truth and fiction are so good together...so, why was it ignored by the Academy? Is it that it's too much for people to see?
