I first stumbled upon Patriot’s Day by accident and I thought it was a completely different movie than what I was thinking of. This movie followed the lives of everyone involved in the Boston Bombings of 2013. It starred Mark Wahlberg, Kevin Bacon, and John Goodman.

This film had a huge impact on me because it made me realize that a terrorist attack can happen anywhere. I guess I really had to see it to believe it.  Whether I’m out shopping, swimming, at school, or even the movies, it has made me appreciate life even more because those are normal everyday activities that could end just like that.

This film showed all the events leading up to the bombing and everything after. I didn’t know too much about the two brothers who set off the bombs and I also learned about all the people who lost limbs and their road to recovery. After re-watching the movie, it really made me realize that life is precious and use common sense because you really can’t trust anyone.
