Beautiful portrayal of a philosophy about life

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2006)

Saw it just today and all I can say is that it weighs down your brain, but it was made to do that. After the movie ended, I do believe the theatre was stunned into silence and just sat there. This requires thought long after you leave the theatre. What is the price we pay for immortality and love? And what does it mean to be human? These are the questions this movie provokes. I can see why a lot of people would not like this film because they don't want movies to make them think beyond, they want films for pure entertainment, and that's fine, but I still would recommend the film to people because I enjoyed it. And plus the cinematography was beautiful and poignant. Therefore despite the heavy subject matter of this film, look beyond the everyday mundane of life and see it for what it is. Life is art and this movie shows that in spades.
