An ode to Half Nelson
Half Nelson is one of the most important movies in my life.
I have to skip over a couple parts for the sake of my integrity as a husband and a man,
but nothing rivals Half Nelson.
Social justice,
desire for change,
lack of change,
poverty,
drugs,
empty liberalism,
burnt-out hippies,
surface rallies that change nothing (but help white people feel good),
Ryan Gosling’s excellence,
pain,
joy,
a little bit of change.
Real.
Half Nelson is one of the most important movies in my life.

Surely a great movie. Gosling shows his true talents in this film and the cool thing about him is that he plays these weird roles instead of these big macho man roles like current stars Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. That is why I have to give him some huge props. Also, check out my review here: http://dtmmr.wordpress.com/2010/08/02/half-nelson-2006/ Nice Review!
