Just curious is anyone has seen this movie or read the book.

The wife and I took the kids to see this last night and I gotta say I'm still thinking about it today. This has to be the deepest movie I've seen in years. My mind was totally blown by the ending.

I hate to spoil the movie for anyone, so I wont comment any further until some add to the conversation.

I highly reccomend going to see this one! I wouldn't consider it a kid's movie but Ocho (9 years old) did enjoy it. However I don't think he understood all that was going on.

To give you an idea of how deep the movie was, the wife and sat during the ending credits for at least 5 minutes discussing what happened.

I would love to hear some of the thought of those that have experienced the book or movie.

If you are going to lay out what happens......make sure you type "Spoiler Alert" before giving anything away.

Seriously, this may be the best movie I have seen in 10 - 15 years.

Anytime I put more than 5 minutes of thought into something, its has to be a good thing. I still have not finalized my thoughts on this movie. The wheels are still turning.

I wouldn't advise seeing the movie for just the entertainment value. While it was well played, the story is what gets you thinking.

Please dont attempt to turn this into a "dumb redneck from MS" thing.

I can name every book of the Bible in order.

I have a BBA with a GPA of 3.6

I can name on two hands how many church services I have missed in my lifetime.

The story has a lot of Religious symbolisim.

If you have seen the movie or read the book, you will understand what I am talking about.

Sorry Numi, I wasn't thinking clearly. I guess my coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

Some days I find it amusing that others view us as being slow. Other times I find it insulting. Perhaps its the thought of staying with my in-laws over the next few days has me a bit snippy.

My apologies. I'll go back to picking my teeth with a straw of hay now.

Smokey and the Bandit is the best movie ever!!!! "East bound and down" Baby!

Sounds interesting, Mattie. May have to check that one out.

BTW, Dave's from Virginia, so wouldn't the "dumb redneck" thing be like the "kettle calling the pot ...". HA!

Last time I listened to a review from Mississippi I went to see "Earnhardt: The Young Years". Just awful.

Yes'maam, I do know how that works,

I did very well while on the road for that Estate buying company, my boss would put me in with all the elderly ladies, LOL, eventually he had me running teh coin side, as that had me going in each room first to preview, and set the proper buyer up with the customers, accent came in real handy.
