The Patriot

I have always had a love for films...
I don't really know what it is, i don't particuarly like all films, but here are some that i just adore!
. The Patriot - Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger
. Lethal Weapon - Danny Glover, Mel Gibson
. Taken - Liam Neeson
. Remember the Titans - Denzel Washington
. The 6th sense - Bruce Willis, Hayley joel Osment
. Beverly Hills Cop - Eddie Murphy
. Conspiracy Theory - Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts
. Die Hard - Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman
. 17 again - Zac Efron (this movie looks a little out of place among these ones but anyways...)

So as you can probably tell, i am entranced with the work by Mel Gibson. The way he acts is just phenomenal! Maybe i love the movies so much because i wish i was working alongside actors like Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis. Maybe it's because everything is so much clearer and excititng in the films. I don't know. they just seem to capture me and make me watch. I love that.

I watched the Patriot for the first time last night and it had to be have been the longest film i have ever watched besides harry Potter but it was also one of the best because it was an amazing flim about the Independence war when America declared Independence. I had just finished watching the lethal weapon and he acts as like a suicidal maniac but you can also see his attempt to cover that throughtout the movie with this bravado act. So to see him playing this serious character was a shock but he did it so well, the part where his youngest daughter Susan starts speaking while he's away and when he comes back she is angry with him so as he bends down to hug her before he goes she backs away and the pain that rippled across his face was just heartwrenching. Then as he backs away he tries to cover it up and gets on his horse, Susan starts to cry and then screams "Papa, Papa. What do you want me to say..." as she runs toward him, he jumps off the horse and scoops her up.. It was really brilliant.

You know, i think i could become a movie critic. That would be a cool job
