Something refreshing

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2011)

As to young minds, this movie wasn't anything special; there was no action, no killing, actually, nothing worth watching. However, I'm not as most of the young minds, so I found something worth watching and giving 10 this movie.
I've never been a fan of a long movies, but this movie made me think of that. Through whole movie, I haven't even notice how much passed; I was so focused on what's going on on screen rather than when the movie will finish. It takes a lot to impress me; I do not dwell in the corner where a little thing is most satisfying, rather where only things worth smiling to are smiled to. I must also say that I wasn't much of a fan of Sandra so far, but her acting in this movie was really amazing. What I like most is a plot. Plot was written almost perfectly, as plot should always be written, no matter what. It's a life drama, uncommon to the world because of the people's grief; however, it's refreshing to see that there are, out there, still people who fight for justice and who want to change the world.
But, the best of all was Quinton Aaron. As an actor I've never heard of before, he really amazed me with his performance. Not just that it was stunning, but it was true; it was like he IS living the story - it was the way all actors should act. I've liked mix of comedy and drama, some scenes that shows us what life really is and yet some to show us that what we saw isn't totally true. Of course, all actors did their roles, but Sandra and Quinton as Anne and Michael did stunning job. I've never seen such a chemistry between two people that aren't in love, that aren't actually related to each other in any other way that just knowing each other, I like the moment when Michael says "I don't like to be called Big Mike" - it really shows how is he closed within himself - that nobody actually knew that he does not like to be called Big Mike. Or the moment he says "I thought I'm already part of this family"
It is really hard to put some scenes before others because I think that movie wouldn't be what is without every scene in it.
Hopefully I did not spoil anything. And, I actually don't understand why does this movie have such a low rating - yes, 7.6 is low. It is much better than Dark Knight, Ineception or whatever. Looks like people prefer fantasy and crime above truth and reality. And we wonder why are we at place we are.
