Went to see "Things We Lost in the Fire" tonite. Great acting...very intense. A moving and deep film. Benicio Del Toro is a shoo in for an oscar nomination for Best Actor. Halle Berry could be one of the most beautiful woman EVER !!
JohnRudy.....I love Beniciao Del Toro too! I hope it's his time, he deserves it!
g44....finally got to the movies! While in Pensacola yesterday I went with my eldest daughter and grandaughter to see INTO THE WILD. I had heard different reviews. It is 2 1/2 hours long.
This movie is definitely not for everyone.....unless you are open to unconditional truth of another person's life without judging him. I applaud the parents of this young man, his sister, Jon Krakhauer, Sean Penn. Even though this true story happened in the early 90's it could have easily been the late 60's, and probably 2020.
I didn't know for sure if I could watch it......I was scared. The emotional trip is heart wrenching. It's one of those films that leaves you (if you embrace it) asking yourself a lot of questions.
I cautiously suggest it to anyone who is open to different circumstances and how another person deals with it. I will say that it made me remember some of the things that used to be so important in my life. The end was painful.
I loved Vince Vaughn in this movie....his part fit him like a glove. Hal Holbrook was a breath of fresh air and made me laugh....and cry. I hate to see him this aged and fragile. Actually, everyone in this movie did a wonderful job portraying the lives that were touched by Christopher McCandless.....especially Emile Hirsch who played Chris.
I can't get these links to come up, but maybe you can get to them through YouTube
