How on earth did an overrated and boring movie like Lord of the rings: Return of the King win so many Oscars??? Are you telling me it is better than Mystic River?? No way man!!!!!! I dont think so!!!
One incident can turn our lives upside down... this is shown in this movie...three childhood friends Sean (Kevin Bacon), Dave (Tim Robbins is perfect for the part) and Jimmy (Sean Penn take a bow) are seen playing on the streets....everything is hunky dory until Jimmy is taken by “cops”...years later Jimmy’s daughter is found brutally murdered and all fingers point to Dave..
Clint Eastwood (credits include Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby) was 73 when he made this MASTERPIECE, he has created a memorable set of characters: one of them (Dave) who is living in his own world, isolated from his friends, and aloof from his own wife...the scene in which Jimmy discovers that his daughter has been killed and the way he says (is that my daughter!!!!!!!!!!!) oh god what acting!!!!! another thing i noticed how three different individuals grow up to be three different personalities as they grow up...people want to forget their murky past and simply get on with their lives...the movie basically talks about various personal relationships including friendship plus guilty feelings...
Power packed acting, marvelous direction, moody cinematography, plus a climax so haunting...and to think when this movie first released in 2005 in India i ignored it!!! Oh the tragedy...goes see it now if u haven't!!!!
