I agree completely that this is a great film. I think there are many people who "don't get it", but that is not really linked to their intelligence, or lack thereof. What I really think people miss out on is the fact the C & K are them, or at least an idealized representation of the American dream - successfull, but not too successful, beautiful, with a healthy child and a nice home, and a rich social life. The funny thing is that after having achieved the dream, notice how empty their lives are & how easily crumbled is their house of cards. They are at a crossroads, what happens over the course of the movie is going to change their lives together forever. The point is, at the end of the movie, they have a chance at true happiness together, while at the beginning they had no chance. I could go in to a very long analysis of why this was a great movie, but if seeing the movie itself doesn't convice you, nothing I can say will matter anyway.
