Plane Simple Sweet and Moving
by Jonathan (movies profile)
Mar 5, 2009
This is just a cool moving simple flick without any quirks or complications. The plot is very ordinary and the title of the film is exemplified inthe first scene. Michael Pena, Rachael McAdams and Tim Robins portray three different stories about injured Iraqi soldiers in different points of view. Michael Pena being from a military family feeling pressured to stick with the military. Rachael McAdams portraying a girl with a very bad home experience trying to find her place. Lastly, Tim Robbins plays the older military man who is going through a seperation and trying to get his son to go to Stanford. He doesn't know if he is really actually done with his military experience. They all have gone through hard times and are all injured from combat. They are the Lucky Ones and it is refreshing to have a simple story that is just to the point. I recommend this film it is very solid and entertaining and is also moving. Rent it I know it hasn't been advertised very well but see it. |
