Best Film Ever?

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2019)

I know absolutely nothing about films. I just know that this one is so damn good that even someone like me who usually just sticks to comedies can get lost in the story.
I love watching this film over and over. The best part is that it has been over ten years since it was released, so when I quote the brilliantly written quotes to my friends they usually don't know it's from a film and they assume that I have incredible vocabulary. So, thanks for that. The dialogue in the film is pure poetry. Which is just one factor of how this film is able to capture life of the 19th century, because words had so much more value and meaning before things like LOL came into existence.
Bringing the audience into this world is what makes it so easy for us to humanize and sympathize someone who on paper should be considered a vile and ruthless criminal. I doubt the best lawyers of today could do what this film has done.
I LOVE this.
