I rented Imaginary Heroes completely on a whim because I saw Emile Hirsch and Kip Pardue on the credit list and they are two of my favorite actors, so I took the chance. After the 1 hr and 40 minutes or so when the movie finished, I was almost in tears. Not only did this movie strike very close to home to me, I felt that a lot of people can relate to this. Not this specific plot, but the relationships in the film are so realistic and believable. I am very close to my mother and my father never really understood me. When I was younger, I felt that no one in my life understood me except my mother and my best friend. Whether you're still a teenager or a parent, you can find something in this movie to relate to. The movie shows us that we don't need heroes. Some people do not want to be put on a higher pedestal than everyone else. Sometimes we look up to someone so much and idolize someone so much, that we forget that they are just like you. Rather than having heroes, you just need to know the people in your life who love you and want to protect you. This movie has gone down on my Top 10, or maybe 15. I don't know, I don't have an actual list, but if I did it would be on there. 10/10!
