a beautiful film

Rating: 5/10 (13 November 2005)

Although over-rated, this film is made well. We get a decent story and some good performances by the actors and actresses, and it is shot beautifully. However, this film seems to be made for a wide audience and to make money. In part, I think its popularity helped it to win an Oscar, and it's an over-rated film in my opinion. (I don't think this film deserved an Oscar because there were equally good or better films produced that year.) It's good, but I've seen better. It was almost there, but it just didn't make it in my category of top films. Cinematography was probably the best single thing about the film. Average and over-rated.
