Review:
I absolutely love this movie.
There is nothing in this movie that I would change, it is completely perfect how it is. I am not a huge fan of Meg Ryan, but she does a great job in this role along beside Nicolas Cage.
I cry all the way through this movie, it is one of my most favorite films. And the film has one of the best soundtracks ever made.
It is romantic, very romantic, but very, very good.
I do recommend the movie for most everyone. Females would probably enjoy it over males, because of the romantic aspects.
The movie has a big spiritual theme running through it, it contains a lot of mythology, but it is very beautifuly portrayed.
The ending is so sad, yet so perfect. Even though you know what is going to happen before it does, it is still so beautiful and so sad, and not overdone.
