Beautiful, beautiful work of Billy Bob Thornton expressing the journey in life of a passionated, loyal and true young man. Thornton is obviously a man with wild stories and he chose a very pleasant scenario to tell this one. Matt Damon suits perfectly as John Cole: a young adventurous man, more of intelligent than a high-profile hero, who searches for honorable work and love in company of a trusted buddy. Not only the love story is captivating but difficulties and adversities found by the two buddies. The company of a boy that "possibly does not have feathers" that take them to a prison and then both friends having to deal with the shadow of being inside a prison is something that give density and some bitterness to the sweet characters - as well as happens in life. The good thing is that the characters overcome this shadows, they tame them, and life with dignity after those events. The final dialog, with the judge, crowns the hero and is inspiring for every young man who also seeks for his own way and, as in the movie, find love and shadows on it. Thank you Billy Bob, you're a very sensitive guy; thank you Columbia for contributing with such a constructive movie and thank you Matt, thank you Matt for representing John Cole and your other characters - they help me on the way. This movie really inspired me and it is a beautiful story of untamed spirits, courage and goals with the strong scent of the country side, horses and green acres. Thank you for that.
