Clay Olson's picture

I really enjoyed watching this film. I peticularly liked the part of the film where Joe tells Ruben that he has to leave. I like it because of the pain that you can see in Joe's expressions in voice when he says it. He doesn't want Ruben to leave, Rubin is means something to the people in this community, but he made a choice, and has to deal with the consequences of it. "There are too many others to consider," I think is what Joe said. It was very human. 

Another scene that I liked was when Ruben first heard the ringing in his ears. The look in his eyes when it first started was great acting. The way they potrayed Rubens loss of hearing was great as well. Going from ringing, to muffled voices, to eventually jusst having silence.
