A Beautiful movie that shows you that while life is not always perfect you should cherish every single moment

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2010)

I have seen this movie countless times and it never fails to bring laughter, smiles, tears of joy and sadness to me. The acting is brilliant from the Hopkins, Pitt and Furlani. Even the secondary characters are well done. You feel drawn into the movie. It runs at 3 hours. if you are not looking for an action packed film this is not going to be your cup of tea, but if you are moved by the human condition then you will never even feel the time ticking by. Every time I watch this I feel grateful for the beauty that is love. Hopkins plays the role of the elder prominent businessman with an elegance and grace that is unparalleled. Pitt handles the transition in his character stunningly. His journey into humanity is moving and appropriately awkward. His beauty is a wonderful contrast against the darkness one would expect for his character. Furlani is gorgeous on her own right, but the way she plays Claire is honest and true. The characters Clint, Allison, Drew are also excellent. Pay close attention for the scenes with the Jamaican woman as they are done perfectly.
