A Deeply Moving Experience

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2000)

A deeply moving film that really makes you think about life and what it means to each of us. I sat in my chair after the movie and was burdened by the thought of what I would have done when faced with a similar fate. The 3+ hour running time didn't matter at all. The story was so gripping that even though there were a great many "slow" moments, the film never once bored me. An excellent movie experience. Should have won Best Picture of 1999.
