a great film

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2006)

I just REALLY saw this film for the 1st time in my US History Class (technically my 2nd time, I saw it when it first came out in 1994 and had no clue what it was about) and I must say it is the greatest movie I've ever seen. Once the viewer has a full understanding of the historical context of the movie, he/she can appreciate the ingenious plot of this story, told through the eyes of a simplistic yet at the same time complex individual. His relationship with Jenny as they part ways and are then re-united is a love story that is emotionally touching and moving. Everything about this movie deserves praise. It's a shame IMDb only allows for 10/10 ratings.
