Powerful and Profound

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2005)

This is definitely one of the year's best and, in my opinion, much better than The Aviator. Although I thought Aviator was good, I nearly fell asleep. This one had me from the very beginning. Someone said they felt it was slow starting. I disagree. Every little thing that was said or seen contributed to the development of the characters and the story. Excellent cast, excellent acting and an even more excellent script. The story is moving and thought provoking (I was still emotional an hour after leaving the theater).
Clint Eastwood has done it again!! I sincerely hope the academy honors this film with "Best Picture" as I believe it truly deserves it!!
