Reign Over Me

Lyndsey and I want to see a movie last night after eating dinner at Black Eyed Peas (very good salads). The movie we choose was one that involved Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle, two very good actors. The movie was about a man who lost his wife and 3 girls from the terrorists attacks that happened on September 11th.

This is a very strong, heartfelt and emotional movie. Reign Over Me is a subtle comedy, but made you laugh hard. This profound movie really hit me hard, it made me wonder what would I do in Charlie Fineman's (Adam Sandlers) situation. I am still amazed by this movie and as a re-percussion still in a very deep and profound stage. It really makes you re-think the priorities you place in your life. It makes me wonder about how mine has been going.

I am still in deep thought about Reign Over Me and I hope to take the morals of the story into major consideration. The real questions are1, if someone you loved died tomorrow, is this how you would want them to remember you? And am I destroying a very good thing in my life by having other items take precedence?

I would highly recommend Reign Over Me to anyone. It is not another sad sap story to be tugged at 9/11 for money. If you were to ask me the story actually pulls away from that mood and Adam Sandler did a great job, one of the better movies I have seen him in, in a long time.

For a good laugh, cry and to be touched see Reign Over Me, you will not be disappointed.
