First off, if you've seen the movie, and it is a wonderful one at that, I strongly urge you to read the novel by Rafael Yglesias. The book is 3 times much better than the movie, and the movie itself was wonderful. Peter Weir has always managed to make movies that make people in general, "Think." Remember "Dead Poets Society", "Truman Show"? This movie is no different. It tells a lot about immortality, and how fragile life can be, and how people react differently to traumatic situations. With what's happened in the last few months, this movie hits that much closer to home. A truly epic classic.
