Review of The Sunset Limited (2011) by Garrett J — 17 Feb 2012
An excellent film for people who appreciate and crave great dialog. I felt myself more emotionally involved with both these polar-opposite characters, than I have with any other movie I have seen this year.
As an atheist, I even found myself wanting White to find find god. (if only to restore his will to live). I was fearing, at the same time, that would happen. An all too predictable and hokey conclusion.
But was pleasantly surprised with how it was concluded. It somehow re-iterated and re-enforced both parties beliefs in a way that demonstrates the impossibility of either point being able to be declared the right one.
Faith requires you to turn a blind eye to reason, and in that sense, simplifies the world to a point which can be tolerated. I found myself in a stale-mate with White and Black. Feeling both admiration and pity for both characters.
