Live Fast, Die Young (2008)
The film's ending really touched me!
I don't cry at movies. No eyes welling up . . as a rule. Okay, I cried during Henry V (the Kenneth Branagh version) when the French army slaughtered all the pages in the English camp. I don't even tend to care for movies that might make me cry. I spend my hard earned big screen cash on movies with big effects or epic vistas (think The Matrix or Dark Knight) Live Fast, Die Young was a glorious exception.
Live Fast is about keeping a promise, about believing, about making a dying dream come true, about pure selfless love. With so much goodness put together with such elegant and heartfelt filming, it is hard to find a dry eye in the cinema when the audience is brought to ending climax, when the lead character is dying of cancer. Some may fault the Christian message as overkill. However, the way to look at this scene is of course as something of a gentle wake up call to atheists and agnostics. It is a link between what the party goers physically experience in watching the final testament of a man who understands what it means to follow Jesus Christ to the end.
Unabashedly uncompromising and a true film with the 'stickiness' to make you think long after the end credits finish.
