Great Movie, and Great ending. NON-HATER TO SEAN PENN

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2004)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** OK I have been reading about people hating Sean Penn and I think it is the stupidest thing, the guy is a good actor, so what if people have different views on many things. I hate when people are just going to say they hate this person for some reason or other. SO WHAT. The guy is good, he can act good, and he has a good acting career.
As for people who hate the ending, I mean in a good way Tim Robbins should of died, after all he did kill the guy after all that time. He was going through misery as it is for what happeaned to him in the past and by the looks of the ending he was just trying to not live because he was unhappy for what he did. After all his last words of why he did it sounded like it was a confession to Sean's daughter because he never said anything about the guy. Minus when Sean Penn was trying to confess, but if you watch the movie again, you can see when Sean Penn asked him why he did it there was no mention to the guy.
Anyways I think the movie, was great, I cried a little and even still cried on the way home, because I thought that was a powerful movie. As for Sean Penn I do admit that his performance was not as good, as the last movie he was nominated for. I would of expected the perfect performance like I felt with I am Sam, but the magic wasn't as powerful as I am Sam. I was so happy for Sean Penn to win, but I was like what the hell was I thinking. I didn't care much with Tim Robbins when he won, but after seeing the movie I felt his performance was even better than Sean's. I loved it being creeped out with him, and thinking he was the killer, but I knew in my heart that this was too easy to be the killer, because that would just ruin the movie.
I think that Sean Penn did well, and I give him an A-, but not a perfect score. I will give this movie, a 10 because that is the first movie I cried even outside the theater.
