The Sunset Limited Trailers

A deeply religious black ex-con thwarts the suicide attempt of an asocial white college professor who tries to throw himself in front of an oncoming subway train, 'The Sunset Limited.' As the one attempts to connect on a rational, spiritual and emotional level, the other remains steadfast in his hard-earned despair. Locked in a philosophical debate, both passionately defend their personal credos and try to convert the other.

It is a superb film which can raise more questions than the answers it provides. It is not just about atheists and believers, white and black people, rich and poor or life and death. It is about who you are, who you could be and who you would like to become as a person. I hope this film would last double the time(90 minutes are not enough to give answers, not even to raise your truthfully questions). Superb acting, marvelous directing(simple, but meaningful). I hope for a sequel(a white-rich man saves from suicide a black-poor man). It would be a whole different film but with the same principals . Same actors at this sequel would make so much difference to me.

Its often great to cut down all the glamor all Hollywood and just have a raw film with a couple of folks sitting down at the table discussing life and this sir just delivers that and up to the mark.A professor tries to kill himself and the gentleman who saves him takes him home and their sitting at the table discussing life , God , religion and everything in between.Unlike the above mentioned films (12 Angry Men, Man from Earth) it doesn't have the twists and turns or tries to run towards a conclusion it's a discussion leading to more discussions perhaps not as jumpy as coffee and cigarettes but more real to life and about life.One a man of God trying to explain his beliefs while exploring or narrating his life events along the way, the other a read man with his lost hope in humanity and finding the reason of existence explained without the existence of God. The acting is top notch and nothing less could be expected from the seasoned actors. The story does not force you to a conclusion nor does it state a right of wrong but leaves you just like it should thinking about the whole thing while you lay in bed that night. A must watch.

A movie about the meaning of life and the continuous human quest to explain the reason for existence.The choice of the two main characters is very representative to the differences, contradictions, and diversities in society, and inside the human brain itself.I believe that the movie illustrates the inevitable confrontation that occurs deep inside everyone's inner self at some point in life.A very deep dialogue and an outstanding performance by Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L.Jackson. A movie to savour... *********************************************************************
