The film, The Forgotten, which was written, produced, and directed by Vincente Stasolla and Henry J. Simonds is an independent film that is definitely worth seeing.
Stasolla and Simonds are definitely two film makers that show potential because firstly they exhibit depth of thought and the ability to portray that depth in this film, secondly, their creativity and inventiveness to be able to create a film with so much meaning while using a very limited budget, and thirdly, they definitely have a message to "get out there", and the movie does that.
The film takes the viewer back to the onset of the Korean War during the 1950's, and throughout the film, there are numerous parallels that can be drawn between the Korean War conflict and wars such as Viet Nam and the recent war in Iraq. I believe these two aspiring film makers will make a name for themselves one day, and this film certainly was one of the best selections from which to choose to view at the recent Sedona International Film Festival here in Sedona Arizona. See it if you can!
