Revoloution

I hadn't heard of this film before and only stumbled across it by chance,

It isn't trying to be a billion dollar production and quite frankly doesn't need to be.

I found you can really feel for the lead character because he just wants to be understood, and not given the chance, and his aggression as a fighter stems from his anger over his speech.

The ending was a real feel-good way to finish, well done

Im really glad i watched it and will be recommending it to friends.

So if u don't know what to watch try this one!

How often do we take time out to really contemplate who we are? What we are made of? What defines us and develops our character? I can admit I really never thought a lot about those kinds of things, but "Revoloution" got me thinking about my past, my life, and how I have been defined.

As a film in and of itself, the movie was pretty darn good, but as a tool or "trigger" to get those juices flowing about our lives...Marvelous.

I urge you to view this production not as a piece of entertainment, but as something more. Something that might help you realize what characterizes you. What got you here, and what made you You.

This movie is what it claims to be an independent film that fosters a personal revolution. Brett Carr brings humanity and heart to his performance as a stuttering boxer with past trauma. Anyone with heart can connect to this character and his struggle as his past continues to repeat itself in his life. As Lou's world comes crumbling down, he is driven to transform himself and the audience transforms with him. This film is transformational/spiritual cinema at its finest. In a time when when most films are all about money, this is all about the heart. It is guaranteed to awaken your spirit and compel you to live the life of your dreams.

Powerful, audacious acting and film-making. If you've ever wanted to hang with a tough guy, and really know what goes on in his head, then this movie will give you compassion for him. And if you know of one, this movie will make him into a more compassionate guy. This is basically Passion of the Christ without leaving Brooklyn, but without the pornographic violence that Mel Gibson inserted. And it's funny. Short summation: Lou is a sh_t starter cause he has issues. He runs out of options, and has to overcome his stutter to get a job coaching. He learns that his stutter is about his past not his mouth. But then what happens is some of the most thrilling acting and film-making you are likely ever to see. You jump into this guys psycho-stuttering world and get to FEEL and LOOK at YOURSELF. The story just smacks you in the face just when you think, "I feel so bad for this guy", and then wham, everything it's been building up to, getting you to identify with gets turned around on YOU. And i'm left sobbing besides myself. EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS.

'Revoloution' is a beautifully paced film that hooks you from the opening scene and never bogs down in New Age cheesiness but hews closer to the Buddhist mandate of seeing things as they are and doing what has to be done. It reminded me of my first experience with yogurt: I thought I would be put off by the experience and ended up happily surprised.

There are plenty of things for the serious film fan to savor: 'Rocky' references and re-workings (including music by Bill Conti, a cameo by Burt Young, and the whole 'Rocky' of the soul vibe), lively camera work (including some great shots of NYC locales), and engaging and believable performances.
