a movie for all time....

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2008)

"If you wish others to believe in you, you must first convince them that you believe in them".....a quote which is apt for describing the soul of the movie.... The movie surprises me every time i see it with the sheer depth of the story and strength in each of the characters... it is probably the most defining role of Robin Williams after patch adams and his portrayal of sean is stunning... Matt Damon playing the bad-boy-genius with the fragile mix of lightheartedness and hidden sadness is worth watching and his role is quite beautifully supported by his buddies portrayed by the afflecks and Cole Hauser and also Damon's love interest Skylar (minnie driver)....
the directive effort of gus van sant is quite brilliant with the way in which he deals with the characters...expressing their very depths...in most times through long shots with hardly any dialogue
I would recommend the movie as a must watch ..... u probably have to buy a copy for posterity...:)
