Life is too short to be a hater.
Favorite Movie Quote: "I think... we've got to measure goodness by what we *embrace*, what we create... and who we include."
Five Oscar nominations, Eight BAFTA nominations, four Golden Globe nominations - can't this film win anything? It was too good to get all those nominations without winning, but it was up against films like Gladiator, Erin Brockovich and Traffic.
It's a shame, really, as Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules, My Life as a Dog) directed a great screenplay by Robert Nelson Jacobs, and his wife, Lena Olin ("Alias", Night Falls on Manhattan), gave a great supporting performance, as did Dame Judi Dench (Notes on a Scandal, Shakespeare in Love), and Johnny Depp (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl).
Of course, that doesn't take away from the great performances by Juliette Binoche (The English Patient, Paris, je t'aime, Caché) and Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2). They were fantastic.
Great film with a great message.
