Gorgeous, simple, meaningful.

I don't go for that many artsy films, nor ones with very little dialogue usually, although I loved Paris, Texas.
However this film means so much to me. When my children were old enough I showed it to them also, and they were very absorbed by it and found it - eerily soothing or something.
It's very hard to describe without spoilers but I thought it holds a mirror to the very best and very worst of humanity / universal life.
I found the score very apt for the telling, and it just wrecks your heart a little and reminds us of some very important facts that it is so easy to forget in our short time here. I think it's especially relevant for us in these times of road rage.
I read about 100 of the bad ones here, and have decided that most of the terrible reviews on this site about this film are from people that Did Not Get It or don't seem to have much of a spirit or soul. Which is tragic for them as it would have given them the reminders on what is life? that they needed.
I strongly disagree that it is trying to be 2001, I found this a way more mature film.
If you were the kind of teenager that could dangle your feet in a river during the pouring rain, then I recommend this beautiful and poignant film for you.
