You walk out of the theater being a different person

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2007)

When you walk out of theater, you look at life differently, you value things around you differently, you treat people differently, in short, you are a different person after watching this movie. This movie has that life changing experience on you. Very few movies have that effect on you. In my life, this is the second such movie. The movie is so human-centric, so value-centric, it touches you right on your innermost conscience. I salute Sean & John for giving me not only a wonderful masterpiece, but also for giving me a lesson in life! Although this movie deserves all the accolades, but anticipating that in itself will be a dishonor to the movie. Its beyond awards, and all the materialistic notion that world has set as a yardstick to measure the merit of a movie. Its to be felt, deep within.
If every person imbibes little bit of Chris in themselves, the world will be a much better place. The fact that its a true story (which I didn't know until I saw it), affects you even more. It sure does make you more aware of the nature and people around you.
I am most certainly going to watch the movie again. We all have a lot to learn from Chris' experience with life, nature, people! Wish the film has a positive impact on every person's life. Wish the film makes every parent re-assess their priorities.
The soundtrack of the movie adds to the beauty of the movie. The lyrics are wonderful, and the melody is hauntingly soulful.
