ladder fourty-nine

That movie was a movie you'd see with your friends.. it brings you to a different society, with realistic disputes instead of silly ones.. where not every problem has to be solved in order for the movie to keep rolling. it wasn't in chronological order, which changed how we perceived the past, knowing he would survive because we saw his future.. the friendship that goes on between the firemen is a real one -- which probably pissed off some critics who were hoping to see "the men under the hats" and other mysterious bull trying to make them look cynical.. just because a movie idolises them, doesn't mean they don't deserve to be idolised. yes, there was no subtleness of anything.. everything was given and pointed at for many minutes, so instead of letting the viewers actually reflect, it told them how they should reflect in order to give into cultural sensitivity towards death and heroism. still.. a good movie, I'd give 6.5/10.
