Wow. That movie gets me every time. It's a melancholy film, but not a sad one. The ending is both a happy ending and a sad one. Most of all, it's comforting...to me at least. This movie is best on a sleepless night or a sad night or just night. It takes me to a place where sadness isn't gone, but it's normal. It's not a film that indulges depression or tries to make you feel awful, it just reminds you that there are sad parts of life.
What I love most about this film is the feel it has. It's submerged, underwater, almost aquatic. Different shades of blue permeate the film, making it seem like you're stuck in an aquarium. And when it's done, I feel comforted, and secure, and glad, and ready to get a night's sleep and wake up the next day with a lighter heart.
What does that for you? What do you do to comfort yourself? What reassures you? What gives you an invaluable peace of mind? Where can you relax?
