Feeling the movie

Rating: 9/10 (11 March 2001)

The direction, the casting, the photography, the music. All above is top-notch. Rarely have I seen a new film on cinema that has gotten to me like this one. I have to say that i was enthralled by Hans Zimmer's opening music. And the performance by Mr Crowe is what the Oscars is all about. Genuinely fantastic. But hey, Joaquin Phoenix also delivers the goods in a satisfying role. Oliver Reed and Richard Harris also, gave their best. And Ridley Scott proves that he IS one of America's leading directors. Plus, I must say that Scott's comments on DVD is extremely insightful and sometimes funny.
