A Great Film

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2008)

I was very excited to go see this movie this weekend. It had not been in my area until now, and i had heard great things about it and was very eager to see it. I didn't know exactly what to expect coming in so i cant say that it was better or worse than i thought, but it was very good. The first 20 or so minutes there was no talking so i started to get a little uneasy about what i was getting into. But as the story progressed i started to get really into it. This was truly Daniel Day Lewis's movie. None of the other actors played that much of a role in it. He was excellent and he became the character. It was as if watching somebodies life. There were a few stretches in the film when it started to drag on, but overall i was into the movie through the whole story. The ending i was a little displeased with but overall it is a very good movie that should win best picture this year.
