The Man Without a Face (DVD, 2004)

One of my favorite movies of all time. Touching without being sappy. Mel is an excellent director.

JUSTIN MCLEOD HAS BEEN AN OUTSIDER SINCE HE ARRIVED IN CRANESPORT,MAINE. THERE HE LIVES WITH THE SOLITUDE HIS TRAGIC PAST AND DISFIGUREMENT HAVE FORCED UPON HIM.BUT THAT ISOLATION IS UNEXPECTEDLY ABOUT TO CHANGE.(MEL GIBSON) STARS AS MCLEOD AND MAKES HIS DIRECTING DEBUT IN HIS COMPELLING TALE OF A MAN'S TRIUMPH OVER LONELINESS AND A BOY'S TRANSTITION TO ADULTHOOD OVER ONE SPECIAL SUMMER.

I SAW THIS ON TV SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND KNEW I NEEDED IT IN MY DVD LIBRARY WHEN I STARTED TO BUILD IT A FEW YEARS AGO. FANTASTIC MOVIE - WELL WRITTEN -- ACTORS WERE GREAT -- GREAT LIFE LESSONS FOR EVERYONE.

IF YOU LIKE MOVIES WITH A POINT THIS IS IT... I TOTALY BOUGHT THIS JUST FOR MY GRANDKIDS TO VIEW. GREAT LESSON... DIG THE HOLE!

While this movie is not the best known movie of Mel's , it surely is one of the best he has ever made.

This was an one of my favorite movies, worth upgrading from VHS tape, so purchased to this to add to my DVD collection.

There are so many 'lessons' in this movie that everyone could benefit from by watching it. I took it on vacation in case of rain. It didn't rain, but my 12 and 15 year old grandchildren watched it anyway because I had raved about it so much. The 12 year old liked it, but the 15 year old was intrigued and wanted to keep my copy to watch again himself and share with friends. I can't rave enough about this great movie.
