An immersive film, in every aspect.

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2000)

I walked into the movie theatre not knowing much (having only seen the trailer), but I had high expectations. Those expectations were blown out of the water just ten minutes into the movie. Not only are the action sequences beautifully orchestrated, they only supplemented an excellent love story. I was thoroughly surprised by the acting in the film, with the three main characters turning in great performances. The ending left me speechless, and when I exited the theatre just about everyone had the same look of amazement and deep thought as I did. Philosophically, the film poses some very important ideas on love, regret, and teaching. Overall I highly commend this film, and will be seeing it again soon enough. It's been maybe 5 hours since I saw it and I'm still thinking about the ending. Hope you enjoyed the film as much as I did.
