But I LOVED it. I don't know why it affected me so much, I cried for the last 1/2 hour or so and a few times before that.
Maybe I was just very PMSy 
You should all see it! |

I know I'm making a really broad generalization, but I've found that the people who hated the movie were looking at it too realistically. The whole
film is not to be taken literally; it's a beautiful metaphor for life and death. I've always loved the short story as well.
And I despise Brad Pitt too, but I thought he actually did exceptionally well in this role. |

I liked it up until the right after the war. Plus, there is the technicality of that if he was born small, he should have died big. Him shrinking made no sense. That's only an afterthought, and I could have overlooked it, had I not been annoyed with the movie anyway. |

Fair enough. In the short story, he was actually born a full grown man, talking, complaining, and walking
And I do have to agree with you about Cate Blanchett's (sp?) character. She was highly annoying. |
