Seen it a while back the American Dream gone bad but with truth. I seen beyond the smoke screens. Look around you our world has gone crazy. Much like it is displayed in this movie. People are asleep usually they see only what they want to see or hear what they want to hear. But those who see the truth won't be asleep! Most people will focus on the characters but won't see beyond what's being said. Deep Thoughts belong to those whose minds go beyond this film.

The people who rate this piece less than 5 stars are mad to see their lives so wonderfully depicted in the reality we rarely let ourselves see, unless you watch you will not know why we want to be hopeless. Choose it even, Wonderful acting throughout the entire film.

This is BEAUTIFULLY acted by Kate and Leo, and its a wonderful story. This is a really really excellent film all around. But it depressed the hell out of me. I saw it when it first came out, and couldn't bear to watch it again for like 3 years. Its very tragic and sad, and its a work of art.
