Ah, Genius Club. I still love this film... I could talk about the top-notch dialogue of the time and the inclusion of Tom Sizemore and Jack Scalia, who performed their roles incredibly well...I guess I just did...but I think there's something else about this film that needs mentioning.
Genius Club is an incredibly uplifting film. In a day when a lot of movies are chilling visions of the world around us, we need something to show us hope. Genius Club paints a beautiful picture of kindness, friendship, love, and sacrifice that never fails to inspire me. I am not a man given to displays of emotion, really...but the film makes me laugh and cry throughout everything.
And the soundtrack certainly helps. It is a textbook example of the proper use of a soundtrack to emphasize the plot and emotion. The beautiful "I Will Lift up" remains one of my absolute favorite songs. I can never listen to the soundtrack without seeing the movie happening again before my eyes.
