Great, emotional, and rewarding

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2006)

This is my first commentary on IMDb, although I have been a long time subscriber.
This film is touching and poignant in so many ways that it cannot be explained quickly. Any person that has family, kids, a job, or a passionate love of life can relate to this movie and should see it. If you care at all about the depression and the people that persevered, you should take 2 hours.
I have enjoyed a lot of movies in the past, especially many of Mr. Howard's, however this was emotional without being obnoxious, capturing the essential moments without moving far away from the essence of the movie. If this was a four hour movie you would not have noticed.
Please watch this movie and enjoy it and feel the passion that was behind it. Really really great.
