One for a soccer mom....who thought The Piano was the BOMB!

First of all of you if film going soccer moms would face real life then do it and quit whining about it or if you want keep looking for warm fuzzies, the English Patient or the Piano should blow your skirt up, otherwise you just might find sex more than due benevolence. The story sucked, ice cube...predictable, Flanagan, a real man raised in the streets of Glasgow, and that is where he get is his intensity.. He learned the hard way, survival in the streets of of a crime infested city. Ever had a knife held to your throat? He has, many times, and those real life experiences are what created his intensity. It shows in his delivery and chills the audience. It's natural talent from surviving in the gjetto not from some light in the loafer's drama teacher. So sit their in your recliner and imagine what it's like to hid behind a dumpster in an ally for 9 hours while your are being hunted sown….,you couldn't if you tried. Yea the movie wasn't too great but once again Flanagan's street savvy shines through. So they used the dreaded "N" word....who cares, Ms. Ostrich, its real life and so are his scars. And so is this guy....no drama classes...BTW....he is Scottish. Just watch him....
