Awakenings - Williams/DeNiro
« on: January 28, 2008, 04:48:50 AM »
My girlfriend netflixxed this (she likes DeNiro)

I had no idea what a tearjerk assault I was in for......My sinuses are STILL locked up from it all.

After a while it gets to be too much seeing DeNiro with the motor-issues towards the end - but I guess the intent is to make you feel some sympathy with the mother.

Worth seeing yes - it will move ya@!

Will I buy ? No. I dont want to ever see this again and feel so sad over a story.

What did ya think?

Of DeNiro's motor skill issues and their progression? (thats a tough one to take on as an actor for sure)

spoiler (click to show/hide)
for fuks sake that scene where DeNiro is to meet the girl again and he is having the seizure/tremor issues while trying to comb his hair before his date has mortally wounded me
[close]
:-\

Williams was ok - kinda reminded me of a shyer Patch Adams. Im not a huge williams fan - but respect due he does this stuff well.
