A sad, but Life- Altering Treasure

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

Once Again, I viewed this movie in School. And I am ashamed of the other comments. I respect everyone's opinions- but am bothered by the harsh criticisms in their reviews. This movie was EXCELLENT. I loved it, and was truly changed by it. I was so involved by the movie that I am still made fun of for crying all through it. I even vowed to name me child 'Gabriel' after Heath's character.( By the way, Heath Ledger is unmistakably HOTT).
My only problem with the movie is that, after my uncle committed suicide, I didn't find the scene in which one of the militiamen commits suicide proper to enclose. It was too hard to watch after witnessing it in real life. However, no respect for the movie was lost, and I felt that I could relate in many ways. America isn't perfect, and wasn't in the past... so portraying it that way in films is fitting. Another great movie!
