Amazing Film

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2009)

This is such a great film I do not understand why ts so unlikable if you put attention to how much effort went into this. It is just amazing.
They way the story is told is great, the actors are great but what I love the most is the symbolism of the crosses used throughout the film, the way the cinematographer works. The camera is always shooting into the light so we get the feel that we are in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles we are always squinting. There is also the scene with Shaun Toub and Michael Pena behind them are reindeer. This shows how it is Christmas time, there are other examples of this throughout the film. Christmas is supposed to be about love and affection and the total opposite thing is going on. It so great how it is done. There is a shot in this scene where Ashlyn Sanchez walks out the door to save Pena at that moment where the door is opened there is a cross. Which took me a while to see when I saw that I was speechless just amazing. Another shot which I found amazing when when Shaun Toub was standing there all by himself. Well behind him was the American flag. Just so great. There are lots of more examples like this, that are so great. I find this film to be great and well if you do not I do not agree with you...sorry...just how I feel. Amazing Film once again.
