I don't get it

Rating: 4/10 (27 November 2006)

Oh, sure, the acting is great and the cinematography is beautiful but Hollywood sure likes to give people reasons to excuse bad behavior. Ennis was a horrible father and husband. Am I supposed to feel sorry for him because his "passion" could not be fully realized by living an out of the closet life and that's why he was an abusive husband? That's crap. Get over it. You got married to a woman and had babies. You have responsibilities, your wants and needs can't come first anymore. Make a decision to leave or stay but it doesn't entitle you to lie, neglect your wife and kids, and get mad at her for maybe wanting to live a freer life. I sure can't believe that's Michelle Williams from "Dick". Never would have thought she could have a serious film career but she and Heath really made me believe. Jake G, not so much. I think he's an overrated Indie darling.
