Simply Beautiful.

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2010)

I can only summarize this movie as beautiful. I didn't think that Pixar could make such a heart-warming movie, even after Wall-E.
It's hard to believe that this is a kid's movie. It is so well written and so touching. I may be an adult male, but I will admit that I cried at the beginning and end of the film. If I didn't cry out of sadness, I cried just because of the pure emotion the movie portrayed. The movie isn't your typical kid's movie. The characters aren't your typical characters. Usually movies rely on young attractive characters. This movie relies on an old feeble grumpy man and a pudgy little boy. Yet, they are one of the best duos I've ever seen. This movie has an important theme, that there is a place for everyone... even after tragedies in our lives or when our lives are near the end. It stresses love, carpe diem, forgiveness, and tolerance. There is always someone who needs us.
This should be a movie that is at least up for an Oscar for best picture. I know it will be shunned as a kid's movie, but it's better written than most of the movies this year.
