I forgot to say that I saw Dead Man (1996), with Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer, Lance Henriksen, Jim Jarmusch a while back. It was a weird movie, one of those arsty ones, but I really liked it.. Depp's a really funny character, with expressive eyes. His sidekick, the indian guy named "Nobody" is really cool, and made the movie for me. I would have a different ending, but still, an enjoyable flick.
Tonight we saw The Hurt Locker at LSC. War movies are not my favorite genre, and I was afraid to watch some parts of it. There were more than a handful of intense scenes that required me to shield my eyes. I thought the actor and drama was really riveting, the character development of the main character was fascinating. It is clear that sometimes, people get addicted to doing something they feel is important and they get a high from it. However, once you have a social responsibility, it seems like it can't end well if you give up your passion for a stable life. It was definitely an interesting movie, and shows that there are a lot of tough choices to be made for people who are exceptionally talented.
