At long last, I finally got to see it. I'm glad I did. The strongest impression I am left with is, what a wonderful visual of the hero's journey.
We all know how I feel about Gerry, but other than the fact that he has pretty blue eyes, one of the main reasons I like him is due to his talent for disappearing into a role. If you watch Gerry on interviews, with fans, he appears to be a very happy, funny, guy with normal everyday problems. He willingly admits to being OC. (I can relate to that. I am either all or nothing. I have no in between speed)But when you see him act, on screen he (Gerry) is gone. He totally immerses himself into his character. I admire the kind of focus and determination it takes to do such a thing. (Wish I had that myself)
But the best part of all is that for the first time in ten years my husband said this to me while walking out of the theatre. "That is the best movie I think you've ever picked out for us to see." Thanks for that Gerry!
