Recently Watched: The 25th Hour

This was one of those movies that I don't know how to feel about. It was entertaining and I got pretty into whether or not Ed Norton's character was going to show up for his prison sentence, run away or kill himself but it was such a downer that it's hard to be like YES YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS. It altered my mind for a bit.. the idea of your life being planned out for 7 years in a crowded prison where you'd be victim of gang rape isn't too cool to think about. :) I thought the characters were written well, his old friends in particular, who he chose to spend his final hours with were interesting to watch. The way that the ending was executed was interesting..you aren't sure if what's happening is really a dream or not until the final moments. The lesson of the film is DON'T SELL DRUGS. AND IF YOU DON'T DON'T TELL PEOPLE WERE YOU HIDE THEM.
