I saw this movie last night and it was AMAZING. One of the most emotional and well acted/directed movies I have seen in a long time. Brings home the amazing job firefighters do for us everyday, and the incredible bond they share. Jacinda Barrett was wonderful, her scene near the end broke my heart. I bawled through half the movie.
This movie is nothing like backdraft.
SideNote: I work for a Workers Comp firm in Baltimore, so I deal with the Police and Fire Fighters every day, and it just really brought home to me what some of those accident claim forms really mean.
[i]IT was also a feel good movie for firemen lol.[/B]
It definitely was! My fireman friend saw it Friday and could not stop bugging us to go see it. (He was paged at the end of the movie for a fire at an apt. complex)
He wanted us to see the movie, because he said it is exactly like real life.
We never had a chance...my sorority, his fraternity had stuff to do all weekend long!
After seeing Ladder 49, my view on firefighters totally changed...I was very inspired and moved. I love this movie! ...not to mention how much I love Joaquin Phoenix...
