Directed by Martin Scorsese, this film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Emily Mortimer, Mark Ruffalo, Michelle Williams, and Ben Kingsley. This is an amazing cast with an amazing director, making it one of my favorite psychological thrillers ever. Any movie that has Leonardo DiCaprio in it and it was directed by Martin Scorsese, you know its going to be amazing (they made four movies together, each one amazing)!
These kind of movies always fascinate me because they keep me guessing till the end. It's like, "Is this in the characters head or is it really happening?" I seriously had no idea what was going to happen and when they finally revealed it towards the end my mouth literally dropped in surprise. I was just sitting there and thinking "How could I not have known that?" I love when a movie gives you that twist at the end, that you didn't see coming. It makes me happy!
Let me just say that Ben Kingsley is, without a doubt, one of the best actors I have ever seen. Let's not forget Leonardo DiCaprio (as the Academy Awards seem to), as his lead role is what makes me really love this movie. Mark Ruffalo shows us his acting chops, and its makes me wonder why they didn't get him to do the Hulk movies earlier instead of Eric Bana and Edward Norton (which I think we can all agree, weren't good choices for that specific role).
One of my favorite lines from this movie is,
Teddy Daniels: "You know, this place makes me wonder."
Chuck Aule: "Yeah, what's that, boss?"
Teddy Daniels: "Which would be worse - to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?"
I would give this movie a 9 out 10 stars! It is rated R so watch at your own discretion! If you like this blog you should go check out http://www.bpdreview.com/ - and also check out http://amberinblunderland.blogspot.com/
