My Take on the Movie

I love Tom Hanks, but did not know what to expect with this movie. You usually think about Tom as a happy go lucky actor in his movie. In this movie you see him in a new way. His character us heartwarming but also sad in it’s own way too, There are light-hearted moments but also moments where you are brought to the brink of tears. The movie is a drama and you have to keep that in mind to know to not watch for the comedy. You will definitely be drawn in and kept engaged by this character and by the acting of the incomparable Tom Hanks. He pulls off this character and does it with great skill while at the same time being with a great cast as well. While this is a movie that the more seasoned of us can and will appreciate, the movie will also stand the test of time for all adults to watch and appreciate!
