Here's another movie I want to love. Everything about it says, "Steph will love this movie!" The cast, the setting, the epic tale... but everytime I watch it, I fall asleep. I stayed awake this time (finally) and it was not easy at all.
Why do I struggle with this one?
Heath Ledger plays a British officer who resigns instead of going into battle and then gets shunned by his friends and fiancee. They send him white feathers as a sign of his cowardice. After that, his life slowly falls apart and he takes extreme measures to try to redeem himself. His ending isn't a happy one, after all of that, and it's kinda sad really.
Other people love this movie, but I find it kind of "Meh" and I don't have a good reason for that at all.
