    If I could give this movie more stars, I would. I rarely like movies because I'm entirely too active to sit down and watch them. This movie not only held my attention while I had a million other things to do, but it also ran my emotions through the whole range of human feelings.

    The images were fantastic, the story line draws one in instantly, and the ending is one that leaves one questioning meanings of life, love, mortality and what happens after this life.

    I wish I hadn't paid to see it. Not worth a video rental either.
