Big Fish in Middlesex (2006)
Wow
Living not too far from Middlesex, in a similar small town, this movie was very memorable for me. The general hopelessness and lack of ambition displayed by most of the characters is eerily reminiscent of many of my own friends growing up in a small southern town. This movie shows viewers, with humour, crudeness, and surprising honesty - how easy it is to slip into a dark, dangerous world, even when you live in a "safe place." Big Fish in Middlesex is not necessarily the sort of film you will watch again and again. Rather, it is a film that you will watch once and never forget. If you live in a small town, you may see a glimpse of yourself in the movie. Hopefully, however, you'll see what might have been if you hadn't escaped that vicious cycle.
