Grip of Drama, 1 November 2009
10/10
Author: Melissa Mendelson from United States

Our eyes are an ocean, surrounded with life, and a river of emotion flows through our heart. And the cold, senseless waves of death crash upon the shore, threatening to break it apart, and tears are the fragments spiraling downward into oblivion. And lives swim like a million goldfish, trying to carry the weight of this world.

And the waves of Drama overwhelm us as we fall deep into the life of Walter, a man struggling with the burden of death and the life that follows in its wake, and as currents pull us through his conflict do we drown in a heart and soul portrayed through the talents of Ashton Kutcher . And as the tides come in, ripping with a powerful storyline are we swept off our feet through grief and love in delicate hands and beauty through the talent of Michelle Pfeiffer , and the story pulls us into two lives intertwining, soothing open wounds, and piecing life back together again. And a beautiful tale echoes in the end, a magnificent fragment of Drama,Personal Effects.
