When I first read the synopsis of this film, and that it was based on a true story, I really wasn't interested. What was the point of showing someone's life if they had not been murdered? However, I watched the trailer and I found the main character to be an extremely charismatic actor, who draws you straight into the story and his wonderful family. And the whole "What life he may of had" worked brilliantly by giving you insight into the kind of person he was, and how much he was loved by others, and that he would try his best to make people happy. Now I'm not an idiot, I know this was painted through rose tainted spectacles, and his life could have been the complete opposite, we will never know, but I didn't care in the end. He, and His family were portrayed beautifully and I think it was a beautiful memorial for his Mother and family. I'm sure many tears were shed, including mine.
