It made it into my collection... which says it all.

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2020)

I am not a cinephile. I would rather read a book than watch a movie or spend an hour in front of a television. I am 54, and only recently got my first television, which was actually given to me.
So when I say that this movie made it into my collection, it's a testament to my opinion of it. There are fewer than 20 movies in that collection, movies like Empire of the Sun and Lawrence of Arabia, that do not tire with rewatching.
In a day and age filled with so much anger, division, and discord how wonderfully refreshing it is to find a beautiful movie, lovingly made, passionately spoken of, and tremendously ebullient and uplifting.
It is a beautiful movie to watch, cinematically, musically, and optimistically. You cannot come from it feeling anything but joy.
What movie can you say that about in the last 20 years?
