I've just finished watching Awakenings. It was on Channel 5, not sure if any of you have seen it?
It contains the best acting I've ever seen, no question.
The film starts Robin Williams and Robert De Niro and is based on a true story about a doctor working with chronic patients, patients that have diseases such as Parkinsons etc.
It is set in 1969 and is one of the most moving films I have ever seen.
Robin Williams plays the doctor, and although he acts very well, he pales into insignificance when compared with De Niro. Some of you probably know that I'm a bit of a De Niro fan anyway, but I don't feel I'm exaggerating here.
Williams administers a drug to De Niro who has been in a state of near paralysis for the previous 30 years. He has been unable to walk, talk or move at all. The film shows the drugs working, De Niro becoming almost "normal".
I won't continue as I don't want to give anything away, but I really urge you to see this film if you can. It's in no way a feel good film, so it's probably best not rent in on a saturday night to watch with a few beers and a pizza.
But please try and watch this film, you won't regret it.
Cheers.

I'd definately recommed it Grix. And if you can pick it up for 7.99 could you get me a copy as well?
Seriously though, it puts pay to anyone who thinks De Niro can only act the tough guy. And it's a damn moving film as well, my eyes were a bit moist on more than one occasion.

Crap, came in late, half way through. Watched a bit, looked really good, but hate watching half films. Might be a 7.99 DVD or something.
