i've seen it three times and i'm overwhelmed by the beauty of this movie

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2004)

the book is one of my favorites and now the movie is on my all-time top ten list. this movie has heart, soul, humor and incredible beauty. i urge anyone who has seen it once and loved it to see it again. repeated viewings offer layers and layers of wonderment and new enjoyment. i shall think of this movie every time i drink hot chocolate for the rest of my life. i'd like to send a huge "thank you" to tom hanks and robert zemeckis. i just pushed a button in an attempt to send this and was informed that the review needed to be ten lines long to be printable. wouldn't it be helpful to mention the ten line minimum above, next to the 1000 word maximum? i've now seen this movie three times and each time i was reminded of my thoughts when i first saw Disney's Snow White; that i was watching more than a movie, that i was watching fully realized art. in my experience, it's extremely rare for a movie to do justice to a beloved book. in this case, both the book and movie are perfection, each on their own unforgettable terms.
