This movie might have cured my phobia of dying.

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2008)

So...to be quite honest I wasn't sure of what I was getting myself into when I went to see this based off of the mixed reviews that I religiously read. My conclusion? This movie was a magical, complacent, gorgeous, classic and timeless journey that needs to be taken at least once by it's audience. This movie was more then I expected to be. I won't go so far as to say it is the best movie that I have ever seen. But to say that I left with tears in my eyes and memories in my mind is to be modest.
I don't know if others have such phobias as I but dying is something that honestly plagues my mind and literally distracts and prevents me from living part of my life I have yet to live. When the woman whose name Benjamin doesn't remember puts losing others as eloquent as she did my judgment began to change. I believe she said something similar to....we need to lose people in life or we will never know how important they were to us...yeah, sheer poetry.
This movie I hope will be praised decades from now and stand the test of time. Did I cry, did I laugh, did I hurt, was I mad, was I in suspense, and did I leave the theater a bit changed, perplexed and reassessing my life? Yes to all of these. Go see it. But with an open mind. Let this movie into your heart and you will be happy you did.
