I wish Pauline Kael were still alive to see this one.  I bet it would have swept over and lived in her, too.

Absolutely! You've nailed this one, Barb!

And, OMG, if Pauline Kael could have lived to see this film. ...

Thanks for posting, though the writer blew hot and cold throughout.

I do like that he pegged the thing that we all share - "we talk about them as if they were real..."

Because to us, they are.

 :) I have always said about BBM, the reason that we felt so much pain when we watched the movie was because we literally went through it with Jack and Ennis - as much as they felt, we did too - I don't think there ever was (nor maybe ever will be) another movie that brings the audience into the story like this one did - that was surely one of the most amazing of Ang's tricks - to make us feel that we were there - just awesome!

My film critic hero, Pauline Kael, would have loved this movie, and her blessing would have assured this movie the best pic Oscar.

This review was amazing.

Jeff Wrangler:
Del and Judy, I agree with you both!
