The most compelling story of the year.

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 1999)

I saw this film last Saturday (6/26/1999) and was completely moved by the perfect character development, very complex but well structured in the story line, including all the sub plots, and the significance of the reason why it was told.
As a student in a film major school, I've been interested in storytelling in flashback structure. Also, I more understood of it because of the film as well. How the individual stories progress in the past toward the present to make the essence of the film be told. Of course, there were betrayal, hate, justice, violence, as much as love in it. However, what's the most important for the film to tell the audience. It was love. That's why it was told and I, one of the audience members, appreciated it from the bottom of my heart and applauded when the film ended with other people in the theater.
I believe that it is a good storytelling film and there's no comparison so far this year. I hope whoever wants to see it to like it as much
