this is why I love films

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2014)

A wonderful piece, even better than "the Matrix" series in terms of humanity and complexity. It's not easy to tell such a long story (actually a few stories) in three hours, at least I found it hard to get everything straight during my first watch. I was deeply impressed by the extraordinary acting ensemble and touched by the story though when I stepped out of the cinema. It's a much better experience when I recently watched it again: some lines truly resonated with a reverberating roar in my heart, like the following one I understand now the boundaries between noise and sound are conventions. All boundaries are conventions, waiting for the truth in it. One may transcend any convention, if only one can first conceive doing so. Moments like this, I can feel your heart beating as clearly as my own, and I know that separation is an illusion. My life extends far beyond the limitations of me.
This film is worth watching over and over again.
