What they sayMy Thoughts
I found this to be a marvelous film, and very inspirational. Robin Williams here is delightful in the role of the quirky professor at a very strict school. The scene where he gets Ethan Hawke's character to overcome his inhibition and compose a poem right there in front of the class just blew me away. The whole cast actually is very efficient in bringing the theme of the movie accross.

Godsend, a review by Eric

It seems that every time I want to do a watching marathon something happens that prevent me from doing it.  I've decided to give myself a chance with my new "Whateva !" marathon.

The rules are simple, I'm gonna watch whatever I can, whenever I can and talk about that.

First in list.

Godsend


When I started watching it I realized that I had seen it before although I though I hadn't when I "Blind bought" it.  It's an interesting movie.  I thought I would start remembering and get bored but I didn't which is good.  It means the movie is well written and nothing is obvious and foreseeable before it happens.

Without selling the punch, it's a thriller movie involving parents and their son.  I find interesting that they chose the father to be the one who finds there's something wrong going on and starts digging to find out.  It would have been easy to do like most movies and put everything on woman intuition while making the father a dumbass who things everything goes well but they didn't.  That's an approach to should be taken more often.

Overall score: 3.9/5
