Greatest movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2005)

I'll go out on a limb and say this is the greatest movie ever made. The first time you see this movie and are not aware of its "secret" it seems like an average movie, with a good plot and great acting. This is the rare movie that actually gets better the more times you watch it. I've seen it more than 30 times and I just never get tired of it. If you like movies about perservering in the face of adversity and never giving up, then this movie will definitely appeal to you. Be sure and buy the DVD so you can see the extras about the location and all the backstories related to the movie. It's well worth the price. The cinematography, the writing, the acting, the direction -- everything is brilliant. This is one case where the movie is actually far better than the book or short story.
