The Wood | Year: 1999 Classification: Themenwelten - Highlights unter 15 EUR - Komödie & Drama Directed: - Rick Famuyiwa Actors/Actresses: - Sean Nelson One of my favorite movies I just love this movie. I don't buy DVD's for the extras. I was so happy I could get this movie on DVD. The movie is about three men who are friends. One is getting married, and he is having second thoughts. The movie takes you through a series of flash backs. I spend time laughing at how folks dressed and wore their hair. It makes you remember when you were in junior and high school. The movie is fun. It's a movie about choices, growing up, friendship and most of all love. Loving your family, friends and the one you want to spend the rest of yoru life with. It's a fun movie to watch. Great movie to watch wit' 'yer homeboys an' reminisce... I am sure that just about everyone can relate to this film in some way or another, whether it's in the memories of your childhood and teenage years spent with your best friends or in the marriage-jitters aspect as one'a you prepares to start a new life. I remember walking outta the theater after seeing this movie and having this exhilerated feeling of happiness just flowing through me. It was a feeling that stayed with me for days after that, lingering within, just refusing to leave. It was a mood of reflection. Of memories that I never want to lose hold of. Of childhood days spent with your best friends, the first day of school, making silly little bets about who will get the girl first, the overall hardships and growing pains that you go through as a teenager. I long for those bright sunny days when I had the whole world ahead of me and the awe of the gifts that life had to offer. I cherish those times so much. The cast in the movie work great together, 'specially the three men, Taye Diggs, Omar Epps, and Richard T. Jones. Their performances are charming and cheerful, full of warmth and heart, they exchange humorous dialogue and have a sincere brotherly love together that makes them so enjoyable to watch, it will put a big ol' smile on your face. This movie really does hit close to home. I really can't think of a better way to describe it, so if you still don't get what I'm saying, just see the movie and then you'll know. One of the Best It is so refreshing to see a African American movies where the characters are not on drugs, poor, sad and angry. Showing that is important, but showing movies with this kind of background is needed also. The Wood does exactly this as it shows friends, who generally care for one another and their life through school and into adulthood. I commend this movie because it is correct. I had so many of these experiences. I love the bully scene and hitting the girl butt, and his uncertainity of getting married. These issues are life and it was shown in a wonderful lgiht and setting. This is a must own. Buy The Wood at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
