one of my top 20 favorite films of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2019)

From the story to Deakin beautiful cinematography, and perfect sound track. There are just so many moments that i can comfortably say that they were actually "perfect". The the whole cast was just one of the best ensambles Ive seen. The speach William Hurt (one of my favorites) gave to convince the elders he had to risk everything "for the right and knoble cause" just gets me every time. These people created a harmonious community in hopes to remove everything horrible in the world and create a sanctuary.
I often look at the amish and think how womderful it was. Just a community that lives for eachother and they do so without all the technology that is supposed to make are lives easier. In reality we have every horrible thing happening in the world piped right to our brain.
So in summation, its a beautiful movie, from a world far less complex than modern day society.
