I first saw this film not long after release when I was 16 and even then for the typical teenager I was who liked a completely different type of film I still cried at this and still found it fascinating. I rewatched this film tonight at 28 years of age and it reminded me why it stuck with me all those years. Almost a complete portrayal of life itself, At first you find yourself confused and a bit lost, but things start making sense and by the end you put the pieces together and see the beauty and wonder reveal itself. I'm still truly blown away by just how emotional the final scenes are and how someone's love for another person and the need to make things right can drive a person to commit an act of self sacrifice to better other people's lives, at the cost of his own. Honestly one if not The most emotional film I've seen, portrays loss, sacrifice and love so elegantly that it simply has to be watched to witness such a wonderful story.
