One of a Kind
To all the miserable
people who have done everything from complain about the dialogue, the
budget, the this and the that....who wants to hear it? IF you missed
the point of this beyond-beautiful movie, that's your loss. The rest of
us who deeply love this movie do not care what you think. I am a
thirthysomething guy who has seen thousands of movies in my life, and
this one stands in its own entity, in my book. It was not supposed to
be a documentary, or a completely factual account of what happened that
night. It is the most amazing love story ever attempted. I know that it
is the cynical 90's and the millennium has everyone in a tizzy, but
come on. Someone on this comments board complained that it made too much
money! How lame is that? It made bundles of money in every civilized
country on the planet, and is the top grossing film in the planet. I
will gladly side with the majority this time around. Okay, cynics, time
to crawl back under your rock, I am done.
