Review of Guys Reading Poems

I watched "Guys Reading Poems" last week during its first screening in LA. I was moved by how beautifully poetry and action were combined, resulting in such an honest and careful blending. It is an exceptional film that combines the romanticism of a past era with the issues that a modern human being has to face while growing up and as an adult. The performances were very honest and deep. For me, the best moment in the film was when the director, Hunter Lee Hughes, was reciting his own poem. We were wondering who wrote this modern masterpiece and found out it was him after the screening ended! From the audience's reaction, I realized I wasn't the only one who related to the story and its symbolic parallel universe. That's what a true piece of art does; it speaks to people's hearts through multiple paths. "Guys Reading Poems" is one of the best samples that the American film industry has to display. Watch it to get inspired and help it travel around the world so that more people can enjoy it!
