BUT THE MOVIE IS LONG

2 hours 38 minutes

But The ENDING is Great

REWATCH-ah-Bill-ah-Tee

Well, if you have an extra 158 mins, in which you could Rewatch it, go ahead. It is too long for me, every great once in a while I might give it a rewatch, most likely to see Daniel Day-Lewis's performance. But for the most part, once is enough.

THE CAST
Daniel Day-Lewis

is this movie! And he's incredible! The emotion and fire that he is able to portay, is somthing many actors strive for, but often fall short.

For his performance, he won an Oscar for Best Actor, a Gloden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture(Drama), a British Academy Film Award for Best Actor, a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, and Best Actor awards by Broadcast Film Critics Association, Los Angeles Film Critics Association, National Society of Film Critics, Austin Film Critics Association.

He is also amazing as Bill "the Butcher" Cutting in Gangs of New York

Paul Dano
does a great job of being the embodiment of "organized religion" and he scares the crap out of me. I honestly think that religion is the scariest thing in the world, and this movie demonstrates that in a way, my words cannot.

He was also the kid that doesn't talk(for the most part) in Little Miss Sunshine

I hated the kid actor, Dillon Freasier, he looked very uncomfortable in front of the camera, and I don't want to see him in anything else.

***Extra Note

His mother, Regina, was a traffic cop who pulled over the film's casting director for speeding[1]

ah, so thats how he got this role

Things Worth Noting
It was shot at the same time as No Country For Old Men, in fact shooting had to stop for a day on No Counrty For Old Men, due to the burning of an oil derrick.

The movie won something like a million awards, check them out at Wikipedia

This movie does an Okay job of demonstrating how the bullied become bullies, and the oppressed become opressors, but not the best.
