Well.. it’s not a feel good movie, but it’s a good movie and I recomend it. I just finished watching Half Nelson, and if you haven’t seen it you should.
10 reasons why I recommended this movie:
- makes you think
- makes you want to teach and change the world
- makes you think some more
- makes you think because there really isn’t much else you need to do but think about what you do and why you do it and how you do it and how that impacts other people.
- makes your realize that there is a lot of different motiviation behind why people do the things they do.
- it’s a great movie to watch on the train.
- it’s got awards
- it’s an Independence film, which means someone had a message they want to get across and didn’t have a lot of money to do it with.
- I found this portion of an amazon review to the point… this is art:
In many movies, it would be the male lead that carries the film; thus, in Half Nelson, the viewer is initially expecting that Gosling will be the primary focus and shoulder the burden of insuring that the scenes are as strong as they can be. But that’s not the case here. While Gosling is indeed extremely good in his role, newcomer Shareeka Epps is brilliant, just as strong if not stronger than Gosling in screen presence, and carrying way more than her share of the responsibility for this being a four-star movie.
10. I liked it.
