Okay, I am not a softy, but this movie did it for me

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2005)

Now, if you have read any of my other comments, i usually watch scary, horror, suspense, makes your skin crawl types of movies. Once in a great while, a movie will come along and change all of that. This is that movie. I work at a bank and a young girl who sits next to me was saying how beautiful this movie is and how much she loved it. I told her that musicals are stupid and i would never watch it. Then the movie came out on HBO and Showtime, so i would catch little parts of it in the middle or whatever. it looked really dumb. But please people, GIVE THE MOVIE A CHANCE! one day, i was home sick from work, and i had the TV on a channel. The movie started from the beginning and it was kinda interesting, so i watched. within the first 5 minutes, i was hooked. i had to know what happened to satine... and love... what happens to it? well, this movie is true to the fact that all you need is love, but does love prevail over everything? no, it does not. At the very end, i was so thrilled... i thought it was all going to work out. and i never wish for a happy ending. my idea of a good ending is have everyone die. but then, at the end, i was devastated. i cried and cried and cried. it is so realistic... it is crazy. my husband came home from work early and i was in the bedroom crying hysterically... needless to say, i was not allowed to watch that movie anymore. but, i went out and bought it anyway... so, my advice to you... give yourself a lesson and watch this movie. the best presents come in the strangest packages...
