How this won best picture (and 9 Oscars in total) in 1997 is beyond me. The heartbreaking ending is surprisingly good, and the story has a message I can appreciate, but that does not make up for the serious pacing issue it has. It takes no less than 1 hour to finally get the story started, and even then it takes another hour to actually become interesting. Personally I think it would have been a lot more enjoyable if the entire storyline during WW2 would have been left out and instead we only would have seen the part that takes place in Africa, before the war.

❝We are the real countries. Not boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men. I know you'll come carry me out to the Palace of Winds.❞

An epic love story that is virtually perfect.

There's so much I could say and yet nothing at the same time. Nothing would do this film justice. Everything, from the acting to the cinematography to the score had no flaws.
My only gripe is that I didn't watch it sooner.

Watched with family.

Amazingly, it turns out women can love two men, but men can only love one women. I wonder what it means...

[i tried typing woman but my phone autocorrected it to women and i didn't notice. i'm leaving the typo because i find it a little funny.]

The opening moments and the final 15 or 20 minutes are phenomenal. Some of the bits between are very good, too, although a lot of them are not. Willem Defoe is the best part of this movie, but close in second place is Naveen Andrews, with third place going to Juliette Binoche.

I really wish the love letters in this film were all at least good start to finish, but they're not.

"I want the things which are mine, which belong to me."
