What makes a movie really good

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2006)

To me, the movie should be a perfect art form because a scene can be shot and re-shot until it is exactly what the director wants to say. And yet most movies are not really very good because the script is usually not very good. They may be unbelievable or insipid, or you just get the feeling that the characters just cannot really act that way. However, in this case, we have the perfect combination of a really good and complex intelligent script combining with wonderful acting....Edward Norton plus the other three top actors, to produce a most enjoyable movie. To me the proof is that it leads to discussions after the movie, about the movie. Academy award material? I could imagine all three male leads being nominated.
