A Terrific Film - I did notice something a little irksome, however
This is a wonderful story that is very heart warming, and I'd recommend it to anyone that appreciates that type of story line. However, if you prefer something of the action genre, it's not for you. I enjoyed very much. Something I noticed that dissuaded me from thinking it was perfect was their overuse of symbolism. Here's a list I've comprised of all the things they'd used to represent several miniature stories within the movie (which, in my opinion are a little too abundant):1. Looking for ladybugs, falling asleep, and finding them on you when you woke up2. The train making it through the mountains in the end3. The whole issue with the faucet not working until the end4. Frances wishing for the wedding and family and then at the end, someone ELSE gets married, and her friend has a baby (the family), and she says, "You're right, I got everything I wanted."5. The elderly man finally acknowledging her.6. Finding her dream man.All of these things were left open-ended right from the get-go and everything was concluded in maybe the last two minutes. If perhaps they had stuck with maybe one or two of the powerful symbols, I think the movie would have over-all had a more powerful impact.
