"A great director, great performances, great costumes, great locations... But unfortunately, I can't say it's great for the entire film. It's not bad at all, but it's not likely for a production of this caliber to be inherently bad. Different expectations can arise only when approached with much greater anticipation. The main problem in all biographical examples is that there isn't much to do for something already known by the majority to shine even more. Therefore, the main issue turns into the effort to find differences in storytelling, which, in our case, doesn't yield results. Perhaps there could have been a different approach. Other than that, there is no detachment from the film, and the most important part of this, of course, comes from Joaquin. His acting and the visual spectacle make for an enjoyable time until the end of the film."

Every time I board a plane, this film comes to my mind. It happened again, and I watched it again. The downside of watching such legendary films and magnificent performances is that we see fewer stories and actor performances of this quality over time. Tom Hanks is magnificent, Leo is great, and all the other actors present a recital. The fact that a true story can be so incredible is a whole other matter. Admiring a character I admired as a child 20 years later is, I guess, the emotional aspect of the matter... Probably I'm goint watch again 15 years later and Im going feel same like today...
