“A Mighty Heart”
Posted by Patricia on 16 Sep 2007 | Tagged as: At the Movies
A movie worth watching. I saw it at the beginning of the summer, so it’s faded from memory a bit, but I would recommend it to anyone who is desperately looking for a movie of substance.
Angelina Jolie was just excellent in the lead part! And since it’s a story about the beheading death of captured journalist Daniel Pearl I was hesitiant to see it because I’m not a fan of blood and gore. However, there not being a dearth of wonderful movies out there… and while it did allude to his fate, it was mostly about international realtions and the way governments manipulate situations and how they can either be helpful or not. I came away feeling I had learned a lot about what goes on behind the scenes in kidnappings like these - for better or for worse.
It was fast paced and kept my attention the whole time. I didn’t have to cover my eyes once and the time flew by. See it - support a good movie.
