Best Picture Of The Year In My Opinion

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 1999)

I have seen this movie over a million times. Every time that I watch it, I try to find something wrong with it and I find myself unable to do so. This incredibly brilliantly directed film stands out from the rest. The camera shots as well as the music choices where very well chosen and executed. The acting, well, I would not necessarily call it acting because it seemed so natural that you forgot that they were even acting at all. I am amazed that every single actor pulled it off. The fact that it was based on a true story made it even better. I do not understand why the Academy did not give this film best picture. The language is a little harsh at times, but it is said in a way that fits the film. The violence is there but I did not find it as bad as the ending in Casino. The almost follow up to this film.
