A beautiful movie

Rating: 7/10 (22 September 2006)

More people should have seen this movie, it's far better than the garbage Hollywood has given us lately. It's a beautiful movie with superb performances by Edward Norton, Paul Giamati and Rufus Sewell. It reminded me of the movies Hollywood use to make before blockbusters and unnecessary special effects. The effects in this movie served a purpose and didn't overshadow the actors and their story. It would have been nice to know what happen to Paul Giamati's character, a good man caught in politics, but maybe that was the point. Maybe the moral of the story is that you can't be a 'good man' and be involved with politics or monarchs or presidents.
