A brilliant movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2005)

I went to see the movie as a gift to myself during the holidays. I knew friends/family who wanted to see it too but were unable when I went. I had decided on my recent birthday to write a summary of what it is like to live in my world and now I don't have to because the movie brilliantly expresses all of the emotions I want to share with my family, my friends and my world. Like many people who have commented I am still haunted by it's power and content and I've decided to critique my thoughts and reflections so I can share and discuss with other people in my world once they have seen the story. I can relate and relive so, so many emotions and experiences that the author has expressed. I've listed the excellent characters and made a list of the emotions that I felt were expressed. Each day I can think of more to add, so the list is not complete in any manner. My list contains some of the following emotions - Abandonment, Ambition, Anticipation, Belittement, Belonging, Best Memories, Best times, Bigotry, Companionship, Completeness, Conviction, Cruelty, Danger, Deception, Denail, Dependency, Depression, Desertion, Desire, Destiny, Disappointment, Emptiness, Failure, Faith/Denomination, Faithfulness, Family, Fear, Friendship, Fulfillment, Greed, Guilt, Hate crimes of murder, Let-down, Loneliness, Loss, Misunderstanding, Natural, Passion, Prejudice, Pretence, Pride, Prostitution, Reflections, Relationships, Scared, Support, Uncertain, Understanding, Unfaithfullness, Unknown, Unspoken love, Memories, moving on, acceptance. I can walk a mile in this movie, it's a reflection of my life and a special person I loved.
