User Review
Damned To Stay The Unheard Poem Of Our Lives
Rating:
This is and will stay Hollywood's most criminally underrated movie about
life... and how to live with it.
No smart answers.
No solutions.
But every worth-while question gets its honest reflection.
Sometimes sentimental.
Sometimes giving up on the unsolved future.
Sometimes kissing the brow of the undeserving.
Always scary and beautiful.
I know, not really a logical assessment, but if you saved yourself a
fraction of your... well... 'innocense'..., a fraction of your desire for a
solid horizon to look at, you will love this movie without a second
consideration, and you'll need a LOT more time to explain that to yourself.
A very personal confession: The soundtrack makes me cry over what I've lost
and gambled away for the prize of cynical safety.
Nothing will come back.
I am the child of black jokes.
But 'Grand Canyon' reminds me of the ever-lasting loophole into hope.
This is the movie I will never be able to praise sensibly.
'Grand Canyon' will stay my guilty pleasure.
This is a truly beautiful movie.
I had almost forgotten in my hard-boiled pride what that word means...,
until I watched 'Grand Canyon'..., and had to watch it again... and again...
