Changing our future

A wonderful masterpeice directed by Sam Mendes includes the action most people like founded by a deeper messeage of changing your life for the better. However, most drama movies tend to have this trend of some love or action story line founded by a deeper message, so initinally i thought this would just be an ordinary film, i was wrong. Tom Hank plays Michael Sullivan Sr. who works for a mob boss in Chicago. As the movies plays out, certain events happen that make Michael and his son also named Michael run for their lifes. The title "Road to Perdition", takes a double meaning. Most may look at the title and think that this movie is a road to hell for these people. However how true this is, the director points out that in the movie they run to a relatives house in Perdition, Michigan. I loved the connection of the double meaning. The whole movie they take this jouney to perdition in order to flee from the mob. As they get to perdition, a crucial struggle occurs and Michael Sr. realized that in the debts of despair and revenage that brought most strong men to a road that actually did lead them to perdition, his son overcomes the odds and becomes a much better man. The meaning that no matter our situation, we can always become better. It doesn't matter what our fathers have done or the expereinces we have had whether they are good or bad, we can always overcome the odds and become something more.
