Heart Achingly Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2001)

I watched this film 3 days ago, and I have been struggling to find a film that I would consider better. I have not. Since 1981, my favorite film of all time has been 'The Empire Strikes Back'. There have been several very good films in the last few years, 'The Usual Suspects', 'American Beauty', 'Shawshank Redemption' and 'The Matrix'. None of these comes close to the heart-aching beauty and reverence this film has. This film has it all and more - plot, emotion, action, passion and suspense. Several times throughout the film I was moved to tears, not necessarily because it was sad, but because it was moving. I even cried during an action scene! After 20 years, finally a film that takes over as my favorite film of all time. Please go see this film , you won't regret it.
