Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2004)

I didn't really know what I was getting into when I went to see this film. I was genuinely surprised at how much I loved it--I don't remember the last time I shed a tear over a movie. I sobbed during this. After leaving the theater with friends, we were nearly uncontrollable in our emotions. This movie leaves a lasting impression. It was the first thing I thought of when I woke up. I just can't get it out of my head. You feel like you were there, like you personally knew the characters; it makes you want to cling tightly to everyone you love. It makes you appreciate life. I LOVED this film. I think this is a must-see. I know it was based on a book. I have not read the book, but this movie definitely stands on its own.
