A long-lasting impression

Rating: Null/10 (3 April 1999)

One week after seeing this film, I am still impressed by it. Yes, the movie was very funny in the beginning, but what stands out in my mind is how hard the father worked to shield his son from the horrors. We all KNOW the horror is there, waiting at any moment to destroy both the father and the son, but the father protected his child in imaginative, intelligent ways. He truly did give him a most marvelous gift. What a wonderful person he was - to find humor and selflessness in the midst of everything.
