Have seen it twice already!!! What a masterpiece and a work of art.

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2007)

The first time I saw it, I wasn't too sure I'd like it, because I usually don't like "musical movies,"(for instance 'Hairspary.') But, as I became more and more engrossed in the characters, the story and the music I felt myself literally immersed in this film...enough to go see it again and take my mom who lived through the times shown in the film. She loved it too and said everything, from the clothing to the whole feel of the film was soooo from her era. It reminded me a little of Moulain Rouge but so much more artistic and the story line itself was very strong as well as the actors. I felt myself laughing, tearing up, and getting chills especially when 'While my guitar gently weeps" is played toward the later half of the film. The special effects in this, from the love-making water scene to the army draft, to "Bono's" Trippy bus ride were enough to make me want to own the DVD, the soundtrack, and hope this film gets nominated for an Oscar for the creativity and true artistry it displayed that is not often seen in films anymore. Go see this!!! On drugs ;) or off it will take you on a wild ride that you'll want to pay to take again and again...
