I just came back from seeing “The Good Shepherd”.
It was terrifying. An excellent movie, brilliant. I can’t say enough for it.
It’s a funny thing, when I see a movie this good, everything I say about it sounds too nice. It wasn’t a nice movie in the least, it was emotionally terrifying… Matt Damon was remarkable. I’ve never seen him so good.
The funny thing is the movie was so good, praising it sounds wrong. It was too real, too sad, I related too much to the main character, at the same time as I lost all sympathy for him.
Never before have I seen a movie, where I start of liking and sympathizing with the main character, and grow to lose all respect and sympathy for him. Loath him. Though I still empathise with him, perhaps even more so by the end.
