People miss the point & clues of the story. Its one of those movies you have to watch multiple times. I've seen this movie dozens of times but missed a lot of clues that led to the plot and ending until a friend decoded every clue for me. The story made more sense afterwards. Just rent it and pay close attention to every quote from every character.

For some odd reason, "In America" really got to me, and I imagine still would if I watched it again.

I'll definitely give it a try. Williams is just awesome when he's doing dramatic performances. One of the best actors out there.

Riff Magnum · 11-20-2009, 04:11 AM

There's quite a few ones out there that are probably sadder, but A Perfect World popped into my head first.
