This movie must be credited for its absolutely stunning visualty. Most beautiful thing that has come out of Hollywood in a long time. The music could have used a little more fine tuning from time to time, but it was above average all the time.
I can easily understand why this movie divides its viewing audience, but I think it's just fine that it does. But I find it sad that many people think of this story only as a predictable romance. Predictable, yes, but it has much to offer, in terms of values. If you go and watch it as an experience, you will find it most enjoyable. Of course, that's hard to come by, when watching from your 28" home tv with mono sound.
