This movie was just incredible! I didn't know if I would like it, but I'm so grateful that I saw it! It was intense and so filled with emotion. You have to be in the mood for something deep, it's definitely not a light movie. It was like a documentary, with all the news clips and so on. We always see things on the news about the fighting and the hatred, but this movie shows us a glimpse of the actual people who are affected and their emotions. It's not a typical Hollywood movie, at ALL. I didn't even know that it was a Spielberg movie until the very end, and I'm glad I didn't know. It was just such a "real" movie, not fake or dramatic or forced. It was like you were watching a real man going through real experiences, and you never feel like you're taking sides, you just get lost in the hopelessness of it all. Although you feel like the situation is hopeless, you don't feel like the movie was a waste of time, because this is a real conflict in the world, and you just feel a little more informed, and thankful for that. The movie was so interesting and deep, I hope that everyone will go see it.

Soooo lovely!

This is just such a lovely movie, I can't emphasize that enough!! I think it's the most romantic movie I've ever seen, and everyone I know that has seen it, including men, really appreciate this film. It's impossible not to, it's just so calm and touching and deep. This is more than a simple love story, it's good on so many levels. I don't want to give anything away, just go see it, enjoy your time well spent, and prepare to cry. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are my absolute favorite actors now, their performances were so great, and their chemistry was excellent, and really, the audience just falls in love with them both. This story will really touch everyone who's had a first love. Ten years after I fell in love at first sight with my first love, we're now getting married, so maybe this movie touched a deep chord in me. Women, coerce your boyfriends/husbands to join you at this movie, they will enjoy it as well, I haven't met a guy yet who hasn't. It's not a movie you roll your eyes at, it's just passionate and... lovely. And, if you're single, go with your girlfriends and enjoy a sob-fest! But, DON'T see this movie with a casual date.. it'll be way too embarrassing when you bawl all over him!!
