THE LIFE BEFORE YOUR EYES

Imaginative, impetuous and wild Diana (Evan Rachel Wood) can’t
wait for her adult life to begin. Whiling away the final days of high school in
the lush springtime, Diana tests her limits with sex and drugs as her more
conservative friend Maureen (Eva Amurri) watches with
concern. Then the two teens are involved in a Columbine-like shooting incident
at their school and are forced to make an impossible choice. Only one of them
can live...
15 years later Diana (Uma Thurman) is married and
has a daughter. A memorial service at her high school brings back old memories
and as past and present start to intertwine her husband and daughter become
increasingly absent and Diana finds her life slipping away.

I and my bana watched “ The life before your eyes” last night 09/06/08. Uma Thurman is one of those actresses that can really act. She played her part very well considering the fact that she’s been doing action films. One of the actresses that struck me was Gabrielle Brennan who played as Emma ( daughter of Diana). She is very talented for a girl her age.
About the movie, it’s very confusing the ending is not that good. When you watch the movie from the very beginning to the end you will ask your self “ What was the outcome of the movie? How did Diana survive from the shooting? Where is Maureen (Diana’s best friend)? What happened to the kid?”
