Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil:The Line of Truth

This movie was not like other Clint Eastwood movies, in my opinion. It was slightly more realistic of a story line, or less idealistic, than say Invictus. That was a good thing. It reminded me of a morally-based story line like Woody Allen's dark films, Cassandras Dream and Match Point. Both of those are too dark for my liking but Eastwood's film lightened the emotion enough to be easy to watch.

Another point about the film that I appreciated was the message of the story. The idea that truth is a personal choice. What you believe to be true is up to each individual. With the cross-dressing character Cheblez juxtaposed with Spacey's seemingly honest character, the movie prompted the viewer to consider what makes something to be true in their mind. I thought this was a unique and interesting concept to bring to film.
