Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2002)

Thank You Scott Hicks, David and Gillian Helfgott, Jan Sardi, Geoffrey Rush, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Noah Taylor and the entire extraordinary cast for this film. Geoffrey Rush, you, did indeed bring this remarkable man to life on film. Scott Hicks, many, many thanks for the years spent to make this extraordinary film. It was in my opinion the 'Best Picture' of the Year..oh, dear old Oscar and it's love for the 'epic', sigh... (and this from someone who loves the writings of Michael Ondaatje, no pretensions intended...) Simply, Thank You for bringing to life this film, which still lives within me. Personally, I cannot put into words what this film meant to me. Professionally, having studied acting, been there done that, etc....Stunned by the remarkable performances of every cast member. It is, indeed a film that touched more than one facet of this viewer... So, again, Thank You for this remarkable film as a fine piece of Cinematic Art... And Thank You for much else, so difficult to explain... It lives with me .. it simply cut through my heart and mind with it's amazing Spirit....
