Movie Death Match 2007 tuh 2008

Ug, Sweet Hereafter. Talk about depressing.

Absolutely gorgeously shot. But seriously. It's not that things like that don't happen in real life. But for fiction, I think the premise is too melodramatic to treat properly. It's like saying: Let's make a movie about someone and everyone in his family dies in pain, and it's his fault, and then let's say that the only thing in life that keeps him at all happy is playing the piano, but then he has a horrible accident where all his fingers are chopped off, but still the only thing that he's really afraid of is jellyfish (a childhood phobia), and he's finally convinced by this new woman in his life to go swimming with his fingerless hands in a place where there is guaranteed to be no jellyfish, but then he goes there and there's jellyfish, and then this woman drowns saving his life. Curtain.
