Few films come along to express the emotional trauma and excitement of
loss. The Visitor, written and directed by Tom McCarthy, is an
extraordinary look at life from the perspective of an aging widower,
who has simply given up.When we first meet Walter Vale (Richard Jenkins), he is alone. He takes piano lessons. A task best suited for youngsters, Walter can’t seem to get the hang of playing because he lacks the effort, so he fires every teacher he has. This effort, as the audience finds out, is a lonely attempt to connect to his late wife, a concert pianist. Later, we find he teaches at a college in Connecticut, but teaching is just a tedious word used to describe Walter’s daily routine. Walter meanders on in his mundane life as an economics professor and seems to embody just a shell of a person, lacking real enjoyment, motivation, or ambition. When asked about going to present a paper he co-authored at NYU, he tells a colleague he is working on his fourth book, but the truth is, he doesn’t want to go because he merely read the paper and would rather continue on his path of least resistance.

Will Hayden Christensen ever make a decent film? The answer is no.As I sat down to watch Jumper tonight, I thought to myself that it sounded like a good premise: People with amazing teleportation ability akin to Nightcrawler of the X-Men, and Samuel L. Jackson as a bad-ass mother fucker hunting them down to kill them—yea, of course I’d pay money to see that. This review will contain spoilers because you really don’t want to pay money to see this, do you?

When America admits its wrong, that's when we can turn a corner. Though the film suggests that we reap what we sew, it also symbolizes what the nation has accomplished and what it has lost
in a time of war.
