Greatest story ever told

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2008)

I've seen this film a few times now but its only recently that i can really appreciate it for what it is, a truly remarkable story. As I've grown up since the first time I've seen it, i could only remember the main storyline and barley its characters and previously just thrown the name of this film around in social circles to sound like i knew what i was talking about. I find this story, the greatest story ever told through the medium of film (although originally a novel) purely on its merit and its inspirational tone towards life in general.
I sit here choking on my words because none of them seem adequate enough to describe how highly i think of this film and how much of a heart warming glow i received after I recently sat down and really digested its story. It is in my opinion one of the the best pictures ever.
I think it appeals to a lot of people. Its a story of friendship and hope. Im sorry its THE story of friendship and hope no other can portray the meanings of each better and i personally was amazed when i found out there was no Oscar's to its credit.
this film will always transcend decades and times as a great story
