you know what... the trailer of JG made me feel like it was going to be that same movie this guy describes... but when I saw it....
take seabiscuit...I never saw the film based on the trailer. we've all seen this kind of story before. but I hear it was amazing.
rudy still makes me cry. same story. underdog overcomes odds. but beautifully done.
kevin took something very 'everyday' and turned it into an incredibly funny and touching film. I still can't believe I cried at a Smith film. And it has his unique humor all over it. I cannot think of any movie that was so proundly funny and emotional.
Some people won't get it or like it, but that's a given. It actually is kinda interesting to hear how others see it, especially when it conflicts with my ideas.
