Product: Frequency (2000)
Rating: 5.0
All The Makings of A Best Picture and then some!
Frequency Grabs hold of you from start to finish and never lets go even after you've turned off the T.V. . Frequency has something that is so subtle and heartwarming, that it puts itself in line with some of the great movies of the past. I even wonder how I let myself miss it at the theatres. Luckily I have Finally seen the most Underated movie of 2000. It's a pity that it hasn't been noticed or even thought of for an Oscar hunt. Frequency really makes you think about the past and the future, and what someone could do to change or alter them both. I read the back of the box recently and it puts it plain and simple, It reads " What if you could reach back into time and change the one event that forever altered your life? Would you do it? And what would it be?" The movie starts with (Dennis Quaids) character (Frank Sullivan) performing a heroic yet almost tragic rescue. Frank is a Fireman in Queens NY with a wife and son. The movie than shoots to the Future as Franks son John Sullivan (Jim Caviezel) is 30 years older living in his childhood home. He find that he has some of his Dads old things, which bring to pass that we find out his father died in a fire when he was six. A scientific phenomenon opens a channel to the past for John.....30 years exactly. Shocked to find that he can communicate through an old Hamm radio his dad had to the past, John is able to change an event that alters other events. The communication from the two leads to solving past murders and attempting to set the future different and for the better. Thrilling and Suspensful yet still able to make even the toughest Sons and Dads jerk a few tears. Frequency will make you think about your own life and what things of the past might you do different if you only new better from the future. Best Picture Calibur Movie, and Great Performances by Quaid and Caviezel. The Dvd extras on this New Line Platinum series will put shame to other extras. Great commentary and added features. DD 5.1 with the anamorphic display really capture the movies intent well for anyone like myself who missed it in the theatres.
