This is in reply to the person who spooky just replied to (same person that i replied to)
I'm going to take a shot in the dark here, and guess that maybe you aren't that old? Say, less than fifteen years of age?
If so, i could understand why one (at that age) would have a hard time understanding why this guy's life was something to write a movie about.
Most people, before a certain age, aren't going to appreciate character dramas because they haven't had these emotions and/or interactions such as the ones presented in the movie, and thus can not identify with it, or even understand the depth of it.
If you are, however, older than that (which certainly could be a possibility), then maybe you aren't a hardcore movie fan.
I remember being pleased by movies such as Saw and Taken (which, if you don't mind some mindlessness are good in their own right, and just to add, because of nostalgic value, i look back on them fondly) before i actually started to really get into films.
Really, you just have to watch more films. Then you'll start to understand why the diversity of characters and the bounty of emotions to be found in this movie are actually quite welcome. So many movies today rely on the same cheap tricks, tactics, and stock characters to appease casual audiences.
Movies such as this, which don't get critical acclaim for that very reason, are doomed to be unmentioned. Regardless, they are beautiful movies, and as such, should be treated in that regard.
Hopefully my post has shed some light on this debacle.
