I don't know why I couldn't see how brilliant this movie is on my first viewing (which, of course, makes it all the more brilliant). I thought it was profound and visually stunning. But now I truly believe it attempts to wrap its 90- minute length around the meaning of life. And, yeah it might very well succeed. People who don't at least try to apply their brains will miss the insane overwhelming awesomeness that is this gorgeous film.
This film makes me cry like a wet puppy. If you ever liked a good movie in your life, you're gonna eat this fucker up like cheese. Perhaps the most underrated movie of all time, even if it did manage to win Best Picture.
