Beautifully Breath Taking

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2004)

I had big expectations for this movie...i really did. Admittedly, i am not a strict "Burton-ian" but i have long admired Burton's style and figured that this movie was either going to severely disappoint or greatly impress..and fortunately the latter occurred. The movie is a bit choppy, and at times can seem a bit superficial but simply put, it is a truly moving piece of a son who cannot accept his father until it is nearly too late. I recommend this to everyone; even if it's not as dark as Burton's other works, it still has extremely worthwhile performances and messages.
