Human condition

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2007)

This is truly an movie of the human condition. I will not waste time here confirming what is truth: the movie was brilliant. There are many reasons why: screenplay, actors, cinematography, theme. In a word: clever use of story-telling with top notch actors. Many of the other movie-goers didn't take their eyes off the screen the entire time the movie played and even after it was over. It cannot be compared to the other gem, The Illusionist, however. Christian Bale is a force to be reckoned with (has this guy ever been horrible in a movie yet?!) and Wolverine sheds his paws and grows the heart of robbed man. Love, Loss, Obsession, Power, and Surprise! A terrific movie that I will buy and have at my side once available. Watch the movie...better yet, let the movie show you a trick...
