Very nice review. The film is absolutely terrible but it does have a great message. Owell, most films are a give-and-take.

Thanks Irakli for the amazing comment. As for the ending, I thought it was very emotionally moving, but extremely sad. I was so upset that they ended the movie like that, because Pay it Forward defied the law of karma. Bad things like that should not happen to someone like Trevor. But it was very moving. I also consider myself a very inspirational person. I love inspiring people at the hospital that I go to. They do not expect a patient with my condition to be smiling and making jokes all the time. I try my best to improve the lives of everyone around me, to the best of my ability. I guess you could say I put others ahead of myself, because that is what I like to do.

Great review Josh! Deep and wise analysis.
Just one remark from my side: it’s not only a great movie, there’s much more to it. If you’ve watched it, you just couldn’t stay cool at the final act… it hits you hard with a wave of emotions and heavy thoughts which with some inexplicable force change your perception of life, perhaps only for a while, but even that means that the message has been delivered to you!.. But what will you actually do when you get that message? Don’t be just a watcher, don’t let that positive impulse fade away, do something on your own, be a part of this chain… of course it doesn’t have to be only 3 people, and if you fail to see that your deeds spread further through the recipient, don’t give up, keep looking for people who desperately need help. And help’em. That’s it.
Josh, thanks again. I hope people who haven’t seen this movie will appreciate your comments and find time to watch it, and who knows, maybe go even further.
And many thanks to Mimi Leder, for making such a magnificent inspirational movie.

Hey Ryan, thanks for the comment, I really appreciate the kind words! I hope you enjoy the movie. By the way, if you read the “ABOUT” section, you will see a spoiler warning. Just letting you know for your own sake, that a lot of spoilers are in these articles. I really don’t like ruining movies, so take caution . I love the avatar of Luigi, looks awesome!
