It pulled me in, big time

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2005)

I have read many comments, both ways, about this movie. This movie sent chills down my spine and called me. I watched it a second time and was still enthralled. I knew I was watching a movie but for one of the few times recently, I was THERE, with them, the actors and the story line, you know? Hanging on each word, trying to understand the inference of each statement. I read the one and two star reviews. I am biased, but the low reviews seemed petty. So what, they figured out the ending ahead of time. I saw the ending and watched it again. I think I feel sorry for those reviewers, I somehow wonder if they are tuned into the complexities and emotions of life. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in the afterlife, spirits, god or almost anything but love. Despite that, this movie held my eyes glued. The dialogue and mood music and ideas and half completed thoughts gripped my senses, all six of 'em.
