See this movie ..

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2008)

I went to see this movie, tonight, with zero information on it other than Danny Boyle was the director. I am a fan of Trainspotting, and absolutely loved 28 Days Later. What I got here was something nothing like either of these movies, but something else, wholly beautiful.
From beginning until the very end, I was enthralled in this film. Everything in this movie has a purpose, whether it be to give the characters their human qualities, or to be used for plot later on. Usually with films like this, I have found, you find somewhat of a filler section (which is why I have never been really a fan of these genres) ... but here, here was something very special.
I felt with the main character, through everything in his life, and that everything in the entire film is bringing him to the conclusion of this film. I sat and experienced the things he had gone through, and was genuinely moved as it came to conclusion.
Beautifully written, shot and acted, I feel I am compelled to tell people the virtues of this movie. It is a classic love story, told in a wonderful way.
I know I will be seeing it again.
