Does This Movie Make You Mad?

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 2000)

Just read the last few reviews of this movie and some people seem rather upset. That, to me, is very interesting. Is it because they despise portrayals of heroism? Is it because they cannot get over their phony hatred of romanticism? Is it that they hate to see men portrayed as noble? Is it that this movie is a mirror reflecting their own decaying souls? I am not being overly dramatic here. To dislike this movie is to dislike humanity. What this movie portrays is the ability of individuals to stand up for themselves and their families and their country and to do so without apprehension. This is something that does not happen very often anymore (in war or peace) and this movie is a simple reminder that it is okay to believe in something and stand up for yourself. And not to mention the fact that it was beautifully filmed, well-acted (yes, Mel Gibson did a very good job, even if it's not cool to say so), and absolutely entertaining on all levels. I recommend this movie to all people but especially to children (hey kids, watch this and learn some real values before your friends and parents drain the life out of you). This movie gets my highest rating and then some for the fact that they actually managed to get it made in America 2000. Watch it and feel good for a couple of hours.
