User Review
a movie definitely worth seeing
Rating: 10/10
Honestly,I am not the kind of people easily being touched so deeply as
to cry, and I didn't cry much during the movie indeed. I just walked
out the movie theater,took a bus,got off the bus,bought a piece of
bread, walked home while eating the bread,then all of sudden burst into
tears.
Till now I still haven't walked out of it. There is so much to say, yet
you don't know what to say nor how to say it. My only advice: you walk
into the movie theater, forget whatever people said on the Internet,
and just watch it with your own heart.
It is a great movie.
