Beautiful, Enchanting & Magical...

Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2005)

I never tend to write reviews, or even feel the desire to do one after seeing a movie. But, there are those rare films that you manage to come across, some by accident, and some just by word of mouth. This was a movie, I felt I needed to see, for the most part because I'm a huge Depp fan. So, I actually bought this before I saw it and went in with high expectations, which I rarely do. Without surprise, it surpassed my own expectations. Johnny Depp was again, wonderful as ever.
I fell in love with his works after coming across Edward Scissorhands. He's just good at what he does, there's no way to explain or justify the life and passion he can bring to whatever movie he decides to devote himself to. I also now know why he suggested the boy from this film to be in the new hit, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. This is one of those movies that just touches you, and if it doesn't, I'd be shocked. I don't think anyone can watch this and not love at least something about the magic it creates and lets enter your heart. (I'm starting to sound corny).
Of course, it is sad, but it doesn't leave you feeling depressed. It's just extremely beautiful and uplifting. I just wanted to voice my love for this movie, and how I was lucky enough to get a chance to view it. This movie was bought as a small birthday gift to myself.
