"Get Low"

I saw this movie on Sunday, and it was awesome! I highly recommend that you watch it. Is a story about a man who wants to invite everyone to his funeral, while he is still alive. He wants to hear what they have to say about him. It is a story about love, death, guilt, loneliness, and forgiveness. A really good movie, with some amazing acting. I just sat in the theatre in silence while the credits ended. A beautiful movie, my explanation could not do it justice.

"For years, townsfolk have been terrified of the backwoods recluse known as Felix Bush. People say he's done all manner of unspeakable things -- that he's killed in cold blood; that he's in league with the Devil; that he has strange powers -- and they avoid him like the plague. Then, one day, Felix rides to town with a shotgun and a wad of cash, saying he wants to buy a funeral."



And an awesome song at the end of the movie, "Lay My Burden Down" by Alison Krauss. I have never seen so many people just stay sitting in silence at the end of a movie before. The song is perfect and just mesmerizes a person:
