It's the feeling, 11 July 2004

How can you enjoy a movie when your ripping it into little pieces and analyzing it.

This movie wasn't about the money apparently.

It was dedicated to S.I. I don't know who that is, but it was dedicated to them never the less. I like the movie a lot. Any movie that can move you that much is a great movie.

I got all I wanted from it.

Beautiful.

Enough said.
