A Bitter-sweet feeling of hope

Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2008)

Before having the opportunity to see this film, I wasn't expecting much. I was expecting another film similar to The Notebook or another film such as Pearl Harbor. My expectation for this film was very low. Now I believe that is how I should see a film before viewing them in order to appreciate them more. After I watched this film I was left with a bitter-sweet feeling, Never did I fully understand the tremendous power of something as little as a lie. No movie before has shown me how beautiful and how tragic love can be at the same time. A good film, worthy of being an Oscar contender for Best Picture, although I feel that No Country or There Will Be Blood will be taking home the top honor, this film is capable of holding its own against those two other great films. A tremendous movie 8 out of 10
