Ignore the terrible trailers and go see it

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2006)

When I saw the trailers for this movie I thought it was going to be yet another super killer assassin movie like Ulraviolently crap. This movie has all the action but its also moving, thought-provoking, wonderfully acted, and well lets just say absolutely brilliant and get it over with. The famous screen writers obviously had a vision and what you see on the surface portrays that vision well. However, just as with the Matrix and its subtle references to Jesus, if you pay close attention there are many underlying messages that make this movie really special for buffs like me. I am sure somewhere on the Internet there is, or will be, a web site that will point them all out. To mention them in detail would mean including spoilers here and anyway its worth digging for the gold.
Natalie Portman's performance was a real eye opener for me anyway. There is about a ten minute stretch after she receives her famous hair cut where I was moved to tears and the only other thing that does that to me is a red hot poker in the eye.
