A Gut-Wrenching Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (22 January 2005)

I wonder why Clint is just up for Best Director and not Best Actor as well? He's phenomenal. Morgan Freeman is the epitome of acting, period and hopefully will win Best Supporting Actor. And Hillary Swank IS IN A CLASS BY HERSELF. "M.D.B." is more than a movie--it's like a religious experience. I classify it as one of the greatest American movies of all time and in 50 years, they'll still be raving about it. Yes, it is overcast. It's dank, dark and seedy. It's depressing but nonetheless it is a REVELATION. A testament to the human spirit. A slap on the back to anyone who refuses to stop following that dream. A fantastic rags to riches to..to..that's all I'll say because I refuse to spoil such a brilliant film for anyone. If you have to stand in line an hour for a ticket, it's worth it.
