A (great or garbage?) movie

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2010)

Since almost everyone knows the story, i may skip a great part of it and jump into the resume. Through my willingness of not wanting me to be preoccupied by others review, i usually read them after having seen a movie, thus looking for missed spots, unfilled blanks and of course alternate viewing angles to my limited ones. After spending more than an hour over the reviews i couldn't fail to notice that most of them were either dithyrambic or thought of the movie as totally overrated. Moreover, i have to accept the fact that everyone is right, in its own sense and aspect. But, the truly interesting in the above, is that this (great or garbage?)movie can't pass unnoticed and for me that's its greatness. It might appeal to the senses and the heart, to our University year dreams, to the lonely reading afternoons, it comes like a hammer to smash the image of what we have become and all the wasted potential which lied upon us. Reversely, seeing this movie through the prism of cold heart and common sense, through the eyes of a father rather than the ones of a son, it's just a movie of another wasted young life, no more than a "narcotic journey"..... Since, considering that technically is a good movie, It's merely up to you love it or hate it!
