Oh wow! We watched a great dvd last night. It was Fracture, starring Anthony Hopkins. I am still trying to figure out all the little details that made up the story. Anthony Hopkins plays an architect who is very eccentric. He has a wire gadget where you put metal balls onto the wires and depending on their weight, can glide down and around mazes of columns to reach the bottom. It takes calculations to figure out how to make it work. Another example of his intricate mind is his recollection of his grandfather showing him chicken eggs. He says something about dropping the eggs. I need to watch the movie again and see how that relates to the plot. Maybe it doesn’t have anything to do with the plot but is in the story line to show how eccentric the architect is.

Ryan Gosling also stars in this movie as a young lawyer who is seeking his way up the social ladder in the corporate world. He mistakingly lets his taste for better things get the best of him and he messes up. The case he messes up on involves the architect.

This movie’s plot is too intertwined to give any hints about why the architect is being prosecuted. You just have to watch it!
