Daniel day isn't human

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2008)

he single handedly made this a great film. i thought that for such a long movie, it really didn't seem like it. that had everything to do with Luis. what he brought to this film was almost unreal. he played this character so well that you almost forget that he is acting. if you don't constantly remind yourself through out the movie what a fantastic job he is doing, you will eventually forget that he is an actor. he makes everything in that movie seem real.
i also liked all of the other performances. i thought that in gangs of new york everyone else in that movie was shadowed by Luis. he seemed almost out of place because he did such a better job than everyone else. though the focus was all Daniel day on this one, you have to give credit to the other actors. to be looked at as doing a good job when you have to share the Daniel day Luis (who was probably on camera for 2 hours of this movie) is truly an accomplishment. i especially liked the actor who played Eli. watching him give sermons was awesome.
i think that the story was alright, but it almost didn't matter because of how well the actors were. it seems really good when you are watching it, but looking back it was just good not great. besides the acting, the music and cinematography was outstanding. i only give this a 9/10 because i only like to give out one perfect ten a year and im gonna have to go with no country. if i could give it a 9.99/10 i would. you MUST see this film.
