A timeless piece.

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2008)

When this film was release in Mexico I don't see it in a movie theater. But I always keep in my mind, all the wonderful actors that I saw in the trailer (O'Toole, De Niro, Pfieffer, etc.) maybe they know something more.
At the beginning I don't expect anything from this picture, maybe another bad imitation of Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings, you know a lot of unnecessary CGI animations, over react actors, plot holes, talking animals.
But some how traps me with it's magic, perfect direction, wonderful actors, excellent production and ultra story.
The plot is simple and complex, is a story about true love and his meaning. St Thomas Aquinas say love is the renunciation of yourself", maybe this sound a little corny but, that is the best definition of love in history of philosophy, and this movie tell you in any single frame of it that simple statement.
My congratulations to Miss Claire Danes and Mr. Charlie Cox, they deliver to us a lovely screen couple any single actor in this picture are perfect, great casting.
Also, I love the ghost brothers, and his wonderful English humor.
Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but I think this movie is going to be a classic fantasy story like the "Princes Bride".
For last like Blade Runner, Citizen Kane, The Thing and many others, remember that box office is doesn't an ingredient of timeless piece.
