Did you get it?

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2005)

I've heard people malign this movie, but my friends and I thought it was brilliantly crafted! Most people are sadly inflexible, and a genre must be consistent... or they don't get it. To fully understand that statement, you'll have to see The Village, but I won't give away the plot, or why some were disappointed, but to those people: you missed the point! It's about love and courage set in a fascinating scenario with the classic Shyamalan "twist." Bryce Dallas Howard did a stellar job. I look forward to seeing more of her. Joaquin Phoenix has been one of my top 5 fav actors for years before he became Johnnie Cash. He's not a Hollywood flake. M. Night Shyamalan is brilliant and everyone I know can't wait to see Lady In The Water, which stars Bryce and Paul Diamatti!
