Beautifully filmed movie carrying a message

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2003)

This is one of the movies I would not want to have missed. With the movie telling a story rather modestly and calmly, it is difficult to tell why that is so. The most important of the reasons why this movie is important to me is that it bears a message behind the story, demanding from us to lead a meaningful life, and purveying this message to us very naturally and by no means imposingly. And then there are the beautiful landscapes and the great cast. Damon and Smith are an odd couple, but play their roles impeccably. And Charlize Theron, with her Southern brawl, is simply irresistible.
