Truth

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2006)

I have been struggling for sometime now with TRUTH. The entire movie was based upon the truth of man and whether or not the truth will set you free. (Good irony in this part of the movie. Plus the fact that the decision was classified. Perfect.) There were times when I wished there had been more action, however to me, a good movie is something that you think about well after you have seen it. I cannot stop thinking about this movie.
Partly because there was the element that hit close to home. When Chocolate and Seeking Approval were put into the same boat: weakness.
This puts into perspective what I actively do in my own life. Does this make me happy? Seeing as how the movie was based purely on emotion it is hard for one to not be aware at any time that perhaps their own lives are merely a widely accepted truth; the truth that society places upon you.
When it comes down to it, what do you have? And is having worth all of it? Is knowing what its about? With knowing and truth and acceptance, are you settling for something because you wish to not know what else there could be? Is truth ultimate? I believe this movie asked more of the viewer then most movies do. This was a movie that one should walk out of unsettled. If it did its purpose, you have no idea whether to like this movie or hate this movie.
