North Country

Ive never been one to cry during a movie.Rarely does it happen. I hold it in, bit my lip and tilt my head back to keep the tears in.At the end of the movie I always run to the bathroom and cry,usually sobbing. Probably from having to hold it in. Don't ask me why. I guess I just hate crying in front of people.But I think Im so into the movie, my mind's reeling, my eyes are narrowed in, I don't want to cry and distract myself. So I always save it for the end.

I went to the theatres to see "North Country" with Charlize Theron.Im blown away. For once I feel almost speechless.I have never sat through a movie and felt so angered.My jaw aches from clenching my teeth. "Base on a true story" always gets me. You there some truth hidden in the movie. And you know in the end it will mean something. Well this movie left a dent on my heart. Its just crazy to think that say 15 years ago women could be treated like this. One women had so many problems on her plate, so many hardships to overcome.We watched her struggle and break down, but never give up.I don't know if I could be that strong if I was in that situation. I'd probably back down or just give up.

I love a movie that isn't about the glitz and glamour.No fancy affects, gorgeous customs or over the top pompous dialog. The movie was, based on facts and thats all it needed. I think the acting was phenomenal. What else can I say.The movie made me think.And I love to think. Go see it!

Did I go home and cry in the bathroom?Yes.

I heard it was a good movie by most people and yes, Charlize Theron is a great actress. She's very hot too! :D
But, i'm more of a dvd guy and don't really like going to the movies anymore. I also don't cry during movies. I'm a man dammit! LOL!!
But yeah, i'll wait for it on dvd.
