Gorgeous Motion Picture, Poetic and Powerful !!!

Rating: 9/10 (20 October 2007)

This movie is all-around beautiful. This story of an American legend is told with such poetry, both visually and narratively, that I could not help but find myself fully engrossed for the full 160-ish minutes. I have not seen a film as beautifully executed in every aspect since "The Godfather". The acting, especially from Brad Pitt, is subtle and honest, yet powerfully emotional. This movie is both artistically and historically significant. Many average moviegoers will have trouble tolerating the length and pace of the film, however I argue these are the same people who may dispute "Citizen Kane" as the greatest American film ever made.
