This movie was touching on so many levels.

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2009)

So many people miss the the most important meaning of this story. It is the immutable bond of parent and child. Until you have had children and lost them for whatever reason, this story will be a complete mystery to you. For those of you who have had children and lost them, I don't need to explain. Our children will always garner the best of their parents and with the right guidance, will always be greater than the sum of their parts. It is an unavoidable fact of life.
Parents and children lost to each other at birth or even later almost always seek each other out. Some are successful, some are not. What almost always comes to light is an almost eerie parallel to each other's life uninfluenced by any other factors than the natural progression of maturation and heredity. This movie is one of my all time favorites, it cannot fail to touch even the most hardened heart. Great story and film.
