What an incredible film

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 2000)

Don't get me wrong... there's nothing wrong with crying at movies... I'm just not normally the one who does it... it's usually my girlfriend that ends up crying... while I mildly chuckle, and tell her that it was "just a movie". Well... by the end of this one, she was passing the Kleenex. I never had a problem with crying, but I mean, I was seriously bawling by the end of this movie. Never, have I ever been so emotionally involved in a movie. It was a beautiful masterpiece, and should be acclaimed as one of the best films made in the past 30 years. I loved it, though I thought it was the second best film this year, second only to the consensus pick of American Beauty. But regardless, Hanks did a magnificent job, Duncan had a fantastic performance, and I've never disliked a character more than I disliked Hutchinson as Percy. Well written book, well directed film, overall a more than enjoyable performance.
