If you don't then you can accept the movie on whatever terms works for you. The characters exist in a state of longing and loneliness and empathy with those things helps understand them better.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment, I appreciate you dropping by.Michael K.

You write some very articulate and descriptive stuff, but the part about:<BR/>"<I>And it’s about loneliness and fear and the kind of lingering longing and unspoken despair that you really have to have experienced to truly understand. </I>"...<BR/><BR/>So, unless I am a manic depressive, or have been in some completely hopeless and lost sitution, I just wont get the movie?G_in_ALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639196448972069617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10637604.post-1135627342723841372005-12-26T12:02:00.000-08:002005-12-26T12:02:00.000-08:00Great review, Michael.
