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 film offers a realistic lens, one that allows any viewer to become the main character "LOU". In becoming LOU we are able to leave our very self involved and to some extent selfish lives to communicate and experience life on a different level a more compelling/compassionate level... Life is the greatest story that we will ever have.... Bret Carr's authentic writing reveals our direct connection to the natural world and reminds us that we are not so much born into this world as grown out of it. Bret Carr examines these fundamental questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is the nature of the world around me? "Outside us we face a world that is profoundly alien to us in the sense that what is outside "me" is not me, and this sets up a fundamental sensation of hostility and estrangement between ourselves and the so-called external world." (Watts) I believe that this film challenges the hegemony of a certain genre of films. Films today are not made to enlighten instead they are only created to generate a certain profit and to create a quick comedic or action fix for its viewer.

"Revoloution" has been called "visceral" and "moving" by TimeOut NY, but Jeannette Catsoulist of The New York Times has chosen to mock the movie rather than focus on what it's really doing: forcing people to confront their issues. Maybe she has a few of her own to confront. I'm just saying. ...Don't we all?

Because this movie isn't about the usual stuff.

This movie is about a street kid who transforms his life. This movie is about coming to terms with your inner demons and troubled pasts. This movie is perfect for teenagers to see. This movie is a chance to make your life matter, for once. This movie is about clarity. This movie is about owning the choices you've made and seeing that they're just choices and therefore you can make new choices at any time. This movie is about subverting the dominant structures that privilege the dollar over the community. This movie is about love. This movie is about joy. This movie is about living, I mean, really ...living.

Try it. It's free.

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.
