A very moving picture

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2006)

The first time I heard about this movie was on NPR(National Public Radio).Teri Gross was interviewing someone about the movie and it sounded interesting.
I got a chance to see it on HBO about a month or so later and I was so moved by it,the next time it came on I made a tape of it.My wife then bought me a DVD copy when see realized how much it had moved me.
Although the DVD can be programmed to broadcast it in a number of options,I prefer it in the original Cantonese w/subtitles.Somehow the English speaking version loses some of the emotion.
The part that really moved me to tears was when as Le Mui Bai(Sp)lay dying and utters his last words.It impressed me enough to paint it on the back of my automobile with a dedication to my wife.I guess it sums up my feelings for her.
Thank you for an incredible movie.
