the other day i show my boyfriend a great movie and stand by me and a movie i have show to many people and they absolutely adore it and but for some odd reason he do not like it . he lend me a movie call backdraft and he tell me that he show it to many people and they love it and instead i hat this movie . i do not think i have hat a movie so much in a while and how this movie have even a 6 . 6 rating be beyond me . i couldn not keep up with the five million story here represent billy baldwin become a fire man and the random sibling rivalry and the random love story ( s ) and the who be an arson story and the investigator and the fire who have a personality of it own . i just have a problem that this movie can not keep up with all these story and they do not balance out well enough make the film interesting . i would have just prefer if this movie be about be a firefighter or the investigator and how he come to be one or what it be exactly he do and why . the movie tell the story of a group of chicago firefighter and two brother . stephen bull mccaffrey and the elder brother and be obsess with the beating of the fire that he fight . brian and the young brother quit the fire fight academy school several year before and then embark on a number of other unsuccessful career before return to become a firefighter . he be look down on by his elder brother who expect him to fail in his newly choose career a a fire fighter . donald shadow rimgale be an arson investigator who be dedicate to his profession . he be call in because a number of fire that have occur have somewhat similar connection . . martin swayzak be an alderman on the city council . he have obvious hope of be elect to mayor and but have have to make a number of budget cut to the fire department . many of the rank and file fireman believe that the cut that he have make be endanger the life of the firefighter . however and swayzak be initially successful in portray the fire department a bloat and ineffectual after fireman be repeatedly be kill in blaze . i just couldn not get into this movie and i do not know how anyone else could and it be incredibly unrealistic and portrayed firefighter all wrong . i love how they have every action cliché in the book to match this action flick . i just felt also like there be great talent waste on such mediocre role and donald sutherland and great actor and but such a strange role that could have be take by a less know man who have the upcoming talent at the time . i know ron be go for great quality and but i think him cast such huge actor in small role be a mistake for this film . i even have to joke my way through while watch this movie comment how the doctor in the background be probably kevin spacey . the fire be so unrealistic and the movie be just so out there and i do not enjoy it and honestly wouldn not recommend it to people and i will stick to the recommendation in my relationship from this point on . negative .
