Review of The Life of David Gale (2003) by Enrica C — 31 Mar 2010

I loved this movie, from the first to the last second. It's able to explore both negative and postive sides of capital punishment without setting on one side or another... It's rich of energy, tension, doubt, and makes you think and get to your personal opinion.

Alan Parker got to its point in a very different way, with a story not very realistic but still intriguing. The story is not realistic, but I think that the movie was meant to be this way so te audience could set on whatever side. Winslet and Spacey were both amazing in their roles, they gave the movie that dramatic tone that would not have been so highlighted without their beautiful and intense performance.

The script is also awesome, it contains beautiful and profound quotes that could be applied to real life as well. It all does make sense toward the end... and it's very intriguing througout the whole movie.

Totally worth watching.
