He Roared (Like a Lion)!

I watched the movie Michael Clayton (starring George Clooney), twice, for two reasons.

First is that the story lends itself to seeing it more than once because the storyline moves back and forth telling why certain events took place.

The other reason I saw this film a second time has to do with the character of Michael Clayton and the choice of George Clooney to play the role.

Way back in 1996 I started watching ER on NBC. George was one of the original cast members of ER between 1993 and 1999-ish, when he left for a career in movie acting.

George is one of the men that I look up to as as a role model these days, because when there are so few good role models (even if it's just for the characters that they play) for men

If you get a chance to see the movie Michael Clayton, the best part is the last 10 minutes or so, when he is telling Karen (U|North's lawyer) that he is settling for $10 and no less. She says they can't afford that kind of settlement of the class action suit. Michael says "does it look like I'm negotiating here?!".

And when it's all over, Michael just walks away with a small smile on his face, the feeling of justice served (those 400 people will get their settlement money).

Then comes the best part:

He Roared (Like a Lion)!

Not literally, but metaphorically.

Great movie. 10 out of 10. And I hear that it might be nominated for an Academy Award or more.
