| [[ASIN:B0000C3I9R Promised Land]]This movie is deeper than it appears. I first watched it for Kiefer Sutherland (love that man!). I didn't really care for the movie, itself, after my first viewing. Upon watching it again I discovered the deeper meanings behind the characters and American life. Promised Land is really the American Dream propaganda we were all brainwashed into believing we could attain. This movie reveals that through its characters and also demonstrates what happens when we never reach the Promised Land. The actors in this film were able to portray how each was affected by not staying on the road to Oz, through fate or choice, in a realistic way. The director wove his tale and drove home his point without over doing it or becoming too preachy. I can see why this film did not become more popular. It's hard to admit to ourselves that we were (and still are) brainwashed into believing in a happiness someone else defined. This would be a great film for high school and college philosophy students to analyze and for the rest of us to inspect our lives and our motivations. | |
