Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2000)

This movie is beautiful in every way, and beautiful is not a word I use a lot. The cinematography is masterful, of course, but there is more to the core of this movie then I think some critics are giving it credit for. "It is a game that cannot be won, only played." What a great way to approach life. To say this movie is like a supermodel, pretty but empty, is to completely miss the point of the movie. The beauty is its heart and its message. It is touching in a completely understated way, just like life.
