Simply Stunning

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2006)

I saw the 11:30 showing of the film today and I am still thinking about nine hours later. It is just such a stunning love story and the telling of it is exquisite. I cannot remember leaving the theater thinking as much as I did today. The performances are so real that you get swept away right into the film. The way the story flips back and forth between true love and happiness and the "real world" is just mind boggling. To have such an intense love for someone but never to be able to realize it...Ang Lee portrays this perfectly and heart wrenchingly. The ending left me numb...wow is all I can really say. This film is worth all of the accolades that it has gotten.
