One of best movies I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2008)

This movie is truly wonderful for so many different and significant reasons. First of all the dialogue is well put together and the acting by Emile Hirsch is superb. Sean Penn did a masterful job in both directing and partially writing this film. I love how Chris is willing to take life outside the box and truly be whom he wants to be. This young man had it all so to speak, a university degree, driven parents and athleticism. However, deep inside his sole this was not his destiny. This film is a groundbreaking piece and is very inspiring and engaging. It makes us truly ponder about what really makes us content as human beings. The film teaches us to follow our own hearts and not to be pushed by what we think is right by outside influences. My advice is take this film for what it is, not for what you want it to be and you will enjoy it immensely, that I assure you.
