Inspiration at its very best

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2006)

I am still in high school and we just finished this movie this past week. Unbelievable is one word that describes this movie. The writing is great and the acting is equally astounding but the message lies no lower on the scale. To know what a materialistic and judgmental society we live in, this is such an important message to tell. I recommend this highly for any high school student. In one of the essays that I recently wrote I began it like this: "We are hypocrites in our own nature. We tell our children to be themselves and not to give into peer pressure. We tell them to make a caricature of themselves and emphasize and celebrate what makes them different. All the while, we let society judge who we are and where we stand. We let it compare us to its definition of the "perfect" human being and define us. " I wrote that before I saw the movie and while I was watching, I kept thinking of my last essay. This is the message that this movie is trying to emphasize.
"Two roads diverged in the wood and I-- I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference."
