"Great" is not a strong enough word to describe the movie "Gideon."
The cast is extraordinary, the story line even better.
No matter who portrayed Gideon, even though Christopher Lambert did an excellent job and is who I preferred to see portray Gideon, the movie would still be a big hit in my opinion. It could not achieve a higher state of excellence because it burst through the ceiling of "excellence" and beyond.
Brad Mirman has a lot to be proud of with this movie. It is inspiring, comedic, sad and happy...all rolled into one.
There is very little swearing, just the type of words you'd expect to hear from grouchy old men. There is a lot of emotion packed into that one hour and forty minutes. Old people made to feel young again by a young man whose goal was to be where he thought he should be for his final days, and doing what he could, either on purpose or by coincidence, to help the elderly residents realize that life does not end just because we grow older.
There is a lesson in the movie Gideon that we all should learn. Life doesn't have to become dull, boring and the same thing day after day....life is what we make of it.
Kudos to Brad Mirman for a wonderful film about life.
Kudos to Christopher Lambert for his wonderful performance of Gideon.
