The Sunset Limited



I think they said "No one comes to the theatere anymore, they go to the cinima" ... Here's a play that was made into a movie and by God... I'm glad that it was.

The story is about relegion (At least that's how I interpret it). There's this christian man that picks up another man who just tried to kill himself. They don't show it in the movie. The whole movie is filmed in the christian mans apartment. You'll hear them talk about their believes and their different stories. It probably sounds boring, I mean who would like to listen to two men talking about relegion? It's not boring. The way they are talking is both funny and scary. Both of them are right in their own way. Relegion has never been about right or wrong. It is about what you believe and they mention it many times in the movie. Well.. There you go XD That's the movie. Two men talking to each other, there's nothing more to it than that. No violence, no other characters... It's a change of pace and unlike Black Swan.. This movie did a very good job at keeping the audience interested. It knew how to do that. The filming was good, no shaky camera which did the good job of keeping the mood calm and the actors did most of the work. There was calm music, exept in the end which I kind of got irritated with, at this part I didn't want an music to tell me what I would feel. So that's a minus but it's a small one.

I stumble across this when I was watching some channel, I saw that Tommy Lee Jones was in it and I really like him.. and I got stuck. I sat with my mouth open and tried not to listen or think about anything else. I tried to take in everything the men was saying but... Tommy Lee said some complicated stuff that I didn't understand but.. It was still nice because I agreed to everything he said. Even the christian man had his moments where he was right. I watched the movie TWICE in ONE day. The second time I got the feeling of the men had been through the same thing but had chosed different paths. Maybe that isn't entirly true but... It was a feeling I got.

I liked this movie very much and it had me realed in by the first sentence. I couldn't even turn it off XD I thought to myself "I can rent this movie and then see the beginning so I should turn it off now so I don't see the ending" ... Big surprise that I couldn't turn it off. And I didn't want it to end either :P I was like: "No! That can't be the end! There has to be more!" so... Very good movie! I recomend it ^^
