Moving Beyond Words

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2005)

I went into the movie knowing it was a tragic film, but coming back from it, I know now that it was much more than that. This film has moved me in ways that no movie has done for me in a long time. It shows us, who leisurely visit the movie theatres, how lucky we are and how much of the world's horrific events go unnoticed except to those who live in fear for their lives. Coming home, I don't think I will ever be able to look at a news report ever the same. Those few seconds of flickering light upon a screen from a news station will never fully convey the depth of the events being shown. What the news is, is really a medium to which we should be stimulated to seek the truth of the matter and hopefully be moved to do something or help in some way. To go and say that this film should have won a lot of awards and be heralded as the best film of the year would not do it justice. Don't get me wrong, the film and its cast and crew are incredible. But even without winning all the awards available, what WOULD give proper credit to this film is to have as many people see it as possible and hope that they, too, will be as moved to action as I am now.
