The Four Feathers

I've been amazed by Heath Ledger's acting ability. I have only seen two of his movies and am so shocked by his awesome way of translating characters, and yet it seems so simple to him. It was actually his recent death that has lead to my intrigue to see what Heath has done. Heath to me seemed like a pretty-boy, wasn't sure if he had talent to back up all the media he got over the past months. Well, as far as I can see, he does. In this movie, he portrays a British officer in the height of the Victorian era, who must decide to go to war or not; he resigns and by the society of the time, he was thought of as a coward. When he is redeeming himself of his cowardice, Harry discovers who he is and Heath seriously messes with your head and looks like a nomad of the desert. I was amazed by how real he looked. This is an epic. One of courage, loyalty, honor, self-discovery, love--as always, survival, and most of all adventure and adventure of one's self. A terrific story, based upon a novel by E. W. Mason. The director, Shekar Kapur, did the film with great knowledge and used many elements to make the movie what it is. This movie was epic, and all around good.
