wow......

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2000)

This is the most beautiful film I have seen in my life. I came out of the cinema shaking and speechless (rather a shock for my friends who are used to hearing me rip films apart). If you haven't seen it go to the very next show and be prepared for something that will knock you sideways.
If you are one of the people who keeps complaining about this film, please gain some perception and taste. I realise you are entitled to your own opinion but I just don't understand how anyone could actually dislike it. With all the sub-plots twisted together there is something that everybody should be able to relate to in some way. Maybe its one of those love it or hate it things.
The acting is amazing, and I think its terrible that none of the younger actors (particularly Wes Bentley) were nominated for an Oscar. The images used, even if some were less than subtle, were extremely effective. Why does something have to be original to make it work? This deserved all the oscars it won, and a place in film history which I'm sure it will gain.
