Simple genius

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2002)

It's very difficult to comment on a movie like Contact without giving out spoilers.
The basic concepts on which this movie is based, I can safely say, is simple genius, nothing more, nothing less.
The acting is absolutely beautiful. Jodie Foster, Matthew (here I go...) McConaughey (yaay!) and Tom Skerritt play their roles wonderfully and they do the movie justice.
I really like David Morse (the big, tall guy in Green Mile), who plays Foster's single-father, and he also plays his short role wonderfully, enough to leave a tear in anyone's eye. Morse has an air of amiability to him, kinda like the Big Friendly Giant, dare I say it.
All-in-all, a wonderful movie. This comment would have been three times as long had I been allowed to give out spoilers... DARN IT!
I found this movie amazingly entertaining, wonderfully written, brilliantly acted out and directed (Robert Zemeckis... that guy is a genius with what he did with Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump... I didn't know Zemeckis directed this movie till I came to this website to look up the makers of this movie and I figure... NO WONDER IT'S A GOOD MOVIE!)
I give it a 10/10.
