No nutshell, no jokes, no funny little quips. I’m just going to preface my review with this…I’m not what you’d call a highly religious person. I am however a very spiritual and philosophical man, and I do apologize for the “spiritual” reference because I find it somewhat cliché when someone uses it as an alternative for “not being religious”. But, be that as it may and as embarrassing as it may be, I am spiritual. But with all that in mind, here are my thoughts just the same…
The film was a complete and utterly exhausting emotional roller coaster ride, and not in the sense of joy or exhilaration like at a theme park either, more that it was just so many different things, that I found it difficult to keep up with my emotions. I would go from horror and anger to peace, or joy, or just a simple sense of beauty, and then back to the darkness again. There is no better way that I can sum up this film other than is was simply the best movie I have ever seen in my life. Period.
Bravo Mr. Gibson…well done
Lyn
