I feel the movie is easily the best I have seen in years. I have never seen a more powerful film, probably because most of the background footage is shot for real. No set decorators, no tricks, just the truth.

I second that the movie made me feel small, but that's not the intent. *I* made me feel small, after seeing it. It is perhaps the most optimistically bleak film I have ever seen, with such highs and lows in human behavior.

All technical aspects are beautiful and brilliant. I loved everything about it, and it affected me more than anything I have ever seen in a theater (save Schindler's List, and this film is much more organic than SL). I can't praise it enough. Among the big story about human nature is one a little smaller and equally poignant. A wonderful love story.

The film is simply beyond my words.

Take care,
Chuck
