She saw it first, while I was on a long trip, and she's been trying to get me to see it all that time - each time we went to the store she asked for it, but always to no avail. Finally, a few months back, it arrived to the store, so we saw it together.You are absolutely correct - something like that one can't lump together with the other things one finds on the rental store shelves - it is one of those rare and very special events that deserve special treatment. Its depth is endless, and while it is based on an incredibly simple story, in analyzing it it covers so much that you feel your head is spinning from overload.
Movies like this one are the strongest proof that the most interesting, the most deep subject that any movie maker can even dream of covering and studying is... the human being.
Forget the car chases, the ray guns, the aliens, the lords of many rigns, in final analysis nothing ever produces the emotional impact as strong as the seemingly simple observation of a human soul - the ever tormented, ever blissful and forever endless in its complexity.
But of course only very few masters, the true titans, can handle that incredibly difficult task without looking ridiculous.
It is so heartwarming to know that another one had joined the ranks.
It is so assuring to know that the art of "doing the right thing" is still alive...
