Review of Waking the Dead (2000) by Tristan G — 05 Aug 2009
One of the saddest films ever. It's he story about two people in love. The guy(Billy Crudup) is an inspiring presidental candidate and his girlfriend(Jennifer Connelly) is a leftist socialist woman.
One day she is killed in a car bomb. He is still haunted by his memories of her a few years later, but when he begins seeing her everywhere, he begins to self destruct. The film is an amazing political love ghost story.
It is extremely haunting but very enthralling and unique. Billy Crudup is so intense and believable here that it almost hurts to see him in some of his most heart wrenching scenes. The film is painful to watch at times simply due to the emotional pain of the characters, but I loved it so much and I really really recommend it if you want an intelligent and thought provoking masterpiece.
This is my favorite love story.
