My Comment:
I was totally confused at the beginning of this movie, because the plot seemed boring. The language also took part on my confusion. I felt that the story was a bit slow, made me a bit sleepy. But, it changed. I think that it was intended that the plot was gonna be like that, because I started to collect the pieces together and finally understand what it was all about. Even a slight scene was really important to the next one. When I realized that, this movie was amazing, tremendous. The actors played really good. I never thought that I was gonna shed a tear. Eventually, I burst into tears. Recommended movie!
