Awesome, emotionally powerful film!

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2005)

I have seen this film 3 times now and I have no doubt I will see it again and again. I am so amazed at the detail and subtleties in the movie. Every time I view it, I catch something I may have missed. All the 'pivotal' points in the film seem to 'linger' for days. Even hearing music from the soundtrack will set me off emotionally. What an amazing gift this movie is. The fact that it appeals to a very broad spectrum of people is impressive in itself. There is much in this film that I can emotionally identify with which is why it has affected me so. I hope it wins as many top awards as it deserves. A remarkable short story, a great screenplay, and an unbelievable cast and director, make this a true classic that will be around for many years to come!
