I think...

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2005)

I think (strange but I do) this movie is a good movie for its realism, and it's not really a movie which you could put the Hollywood's brand on, because something has been solved (the discovering of a legendary "National Treasure"), but describes a real rough situation, where mostly everyone of us has passed in life, even unconsciously. I believe this is a good movie. But I don't think is helpful in any teachings. It may tell us how a simple and mostly lonely man can deal with the toughest decision. But after that anyone of us may just get out of the theater hoping not to go through anything like that.
That is the defeat of our era. Probably Eastwood has been so great in singling out this fat worm in our shiny apple.
Because the ones who come out of the theater thinking the movie had a serene (maybe melancholy but serene) ending, probably didn't get there is tragic situation in the end, a continuous remorse which will always knock on everyone's door, and the only question is "how can we prevent it?"
I don't know if Eastwood wanted people to question about themselves, probably He just wanted to show us in reality there are some really uneasy human case.
