I love you with all your demons

Warning: Spoilers
This is a very strange movie that is hard to be categorized .. A tale about almost everything:

1- True love, and how it can turn over the whole game, how it can change souls, save lives and redeem some people.

2- Poverty, oppression and politics .. how most of the time events get so related without us noticing or taking the time to look closer.

3- Fate, with all the themes you can imagine, taking place in one movie .. I bet even if you're young, you will feel old by the end of this powerful movie ..

4- What really matters in life, the kind of imprint you will want to leave someday, sometimes it's not about being tough or seemingly strong, but rather about knowing love and being gentle ..

5- I've never been afraid of death itself, as I have from an unlived life. However, the line said by Clara, "You must not wish for death, that's not important, death will come no matter" is one of the most powerful I've ever heard in my life, and a scene anyone should watch if they ever get hurt enough to want their life to end ..

6- And most importantly, it has taught me a lot about unconditional love .. You'll see an oppressor -who has raped a girl and denied a child, almost killed the only man his daughter has ever loved and got rid of his lonely sad sister- loved by a woman that's as beautiful as an angel .. Because that's unconditional love most of us have no knowledge of, because we have a compromised understanding of "common sense", because you love someone as they are with all the demons inside and because, if you look too carefully, you'll know that none of us are angels or demons. We're grey. And we can find ourselves in places we've never dreamt we would put ourselves in, or wake up to find ourselves diverted a lot from the path we've originally chosen.

This is a very powerful movie that's highly entertaining and deep, and its depth is measured by how much "you" can get out of it. Regards to all the makers of this beautiful movie which should be one of the top movies ever, especially the amazingly graceful Meryl Streep. Thank you.
