The Grey

• I've been wanting to talk about this film for a while, so here's my chance! The Grey is one of my favorite films of 2012 and possibly one of my favorite films of all time. It stars Liam Neeson and the basic plot synopsis is that after a plane crash in Alaska, he has to lead the remaining survivors back to safety while being hunted down by a vicious pack of wolves. Now there are a lot of mixed opinions about this film, tons of people hated it and tons of people liked it, so what's the verdict? The main problem is this, a lot of people came into this movie expecting "Taken in the arctic" or "Liam Neeson punches wolves". Oh buddy, is it so much more than that. The film is about the inevitability of death and how we humans face it and what we do when it finally closes in. It's about the will to live and the question " what's the point of living? we're all going to die anyways". It's super deep and intellectual, and throughout the movie, every character faces this tragedy in a different way, much like any human that faces death will not react the same. The atmosphere in this movie is incredible, and unfortunately many people did not like this movie because they weren't expecting such a deep message about the fate of every living soul. People walked into the theatre expecting to rot their brains with some good Man Vs. Wild action, but instead got something entirely different. The movie is awesome, I love it to death and I really think everyone should give a view. It has some language, but I highly suggest you get over it and share your thoughts with the rest of the world.
