A Truly Great Film
15 October 2007
One of the best films about the struggle of the individual and freedom in a society bent on crushing those concepts. Douglas is superb and the Dalton Trumbo script is one of his finest. The existential themes are deep and moving and this film can not help but touch one's heart. The supporting roles are consistently fine and the production values are first rate. Simply one of the most moving, beautiful films ever made by Hollywood and unforgettable due to the writing, directing, and acting. If I were to make a top ten list of my favorite movies, this would be one of them. A magical movie viewing experience. I could go on and on but this is truly one of the great ones.
