Proof (2005)
Cast: Gwyneth Paltrow (Catherine), Anthony Hopkins (Robert), Jake Gyllenhaal (Hal), Hope Davis (Claire)
For additional information, see IMDb's Proof page.
Since Proof is my favorite play, I was worried and excited about the movie initially. The more clips I saw from the movie, the happier I got about the job John Madden did directing it. I was worried when IMDb listed more characters than the original four from the play, but the clips of the movie were true to the play, so I had faith that these were very small parts and didn't have a big impact on the integrity of the play. Fortunately, this was true.
Proof was very well done and I can't wait for it to be released on DVD so that I can own my favorite play and my favorite musical on DVD by mid-2006. I never thought that would be possible. I am so happy with this movie. I recommended it to many people before I had a chance to see it, since it was released the day before my wedding. Lucky for me, they did a good job with the movie, so I had recommended the movie wisely.
I highly recommend the movie and play Proof!
