Mind Blowing

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2006)

When I entered the theater I was hoping to see a movie that I would add to my favorites list. A movie that would have many different emotions. I was hoping to see a great film. The movie went above my expectations.
In the first 10 or so minutes, I worried that there would be nothing but violence... but the next scene threw that out the door. With a bombardment of "v" words who couldn't smile? This film didn't only have humor and violence... it had so much more. More that you just cannot explain. For example: right when you have a serious point in the film, someone will ask a question... the answer will be so simple that you almost laugh.
Almost nothing turned out the way I expected, and I'm normally pretty good at figuring out endings. When it was over I just stared at the screen, as did my friend and my mom. It was over... yet not.
On the way home you just keep thinking. It feels as if everything you once thought was taken out of your head, then replaced, but with a new thought too. Will this really happen? that's one thing you wonder. This is a film you will want to see more that once, as you are blown away the first time.
This movie will not be my favorite... for reasons I'm not sure. It will be a movie I will buy and watch a few times for sure, but it just cannot be classified as my favorite... it's just not it's style. It doesn't seem right.
And also... as I went to sleep that night, I could not get Guy Fawkes face or the 1812 Overture out of my head. :)
