There is only one movie I have seen more often than this one (The Usual Suspects) and that is because I didn't know time management back then. This movie showcases so many veteran actors at the top of their game, and newcomers standing their ground when they share the screen. Their work is made possible by a script that makes perfection itself jealous. The characters are real, not fictitious, and this is how they speak; their words aren't twisted to get quotable sentences in there. Everything about this movie is real. Mendes's direction is spectacular. The music (masterful in its own right) starts before the visuals of the last scene have ended, pushing the narrative onward and keeping you interested. The composition and framing work on a thematic level. In fact, every aspect of this movie keeps its theme first and foremost. "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in."IMDb link: http://imdb.com/title/tt0169547/
