"Did you like it?" she asked as I check it back it. "Yes, it was alright." I smiled back. "I really liked it... it was so sad!" she sighed.

It doesn't irk me much when people like sad things, but it irks me that it's the only thing that people sometimes judge a film after. To me, "sad" would be the last adjective to use on this work.

Death, to me, is fascinating, and Aronofsky only intensifies the fascination with his own twisted imagination! The most attractive aspect was the layout of the simple plot. Your brow is perhaps wrinkled in confusion when you start the film, but as the pieces fit togehter slowly, you might find yourself laughing at the simplicity of it all. I personally revel when all the parts are neatly tied by your mind as the ending credits are rolling.

Jackman is fantastic, and Weisz is such a queen... watching them perform is beautiful... Love is so real in their hands.

And so, finish it.
