Candy

Recently I rented the movie Candy with Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish. I found this gem of a movie at the rinky dink movie shop in town, which has every movie every made (it is the best!). I was not even aware that such a movie existed, it was strictly by chance that I found Candy as I longingly perused the glorious movie store. When I picked this one up what first attracted me, was that Heath Ledger starred and I think he is a superb actor. Ledger always seems to chose roles with depth to them, and I do not think I have ever been disappointed by a movie of his (well, maybe Casanova....). The second aspect of the movie that drew me in was its description:
A poet (Ledger) falls in love with an art student (Cornish) who gravitates to his bohemian lifestyle -- and his love of heroin. Hooked as much on one another as they are on the drug, their relationship alternates between states of oblivion, self-destruction, and despair.

The movie sounded intense, and it seemed like nothing I had ever seen. After watching the movie I was right on both aspects. The movie was intense and I had never seen anything like; it it was brillant. I highly suggest this movie for its acting and storyline. If you are a follower of Ledger's work you know that he gives 110% on all his roles and this role is no different. Cornish is also outstanding, you truly have to be a great actor to play these kind of roles.
Well, enough rambling about how excellent this movie was. Have I made you decide to go out and rent it for yourself?
