A really wonderful and touching experience

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2006)

It is a remarkable film - something not seen before. The way it handled such a sensitive subject will appeal to all types of audiences. The direction of Ang Lee was great - the story of a lifetime was compressed in a 2 hour movie and the pace was remarkable. The acting was really good and the main protagonists brought out the characters, as if they were real. The actors moved to the background and the screen characters took the center stage. The underlying pain that lingered throughout the movie was touchy and the ending should really touch all. This movie should do really good at the Oscars ..... a perfect 10 from me. I would recommend lovers of thoughtful and serious movies to see this one .. they should not miss it for anything.
