How many guys managed better than 20 minutes?

I love that you also latched on the fact it does explore what it means to be in love.
Clare is love with death. And she's so frightened by that prospect and the consequence she does not even have the fortitude to utter this out. She cowers behind the assumption that death is indeed joe, coffee shop guy when the truth is, she wants to be with joe inhabited by death, and not a dead soul wandering the netherrealm with death at her side.
It's complicated but understandable. She's young has not lived a full life yet as parish has, and I believe death understands that and renege on his vow to take her with him. -

I'm a guy and this film is probably my favourite and I'm only in my teens. This is a very intelligent film and I'm not going to say that I would love it if Anthony Hopkins wasn't in it, though, because he is THE reason I love it so much. The acting is incredible and the story is very beautiful and the music is breathtaking. I can't find a single thing wrong with this film!

This movie was great. If somebody's attention span can't handle it, then that's their problem and loss. This was a great movie; but its true, you do actually have to sit there and listen and suffer through the fact that there are no explosions and only 1 person dies.
I thought Jeffery Tambour was great, right uphere with Hopkins.
But if you just can't take it, I'm pretty sure the A-Team is on DVD.
There's a word for people who think everyone is conspiring against them.
That's right: perceptive! -

I'm hoping the "not that there's anything wrong with that" line is from Seinfeld. If it is, I enjoyed the reference.

Well, i managed the whole film, mainly due to the fact that it is wonderful. The dialogue is something to behold, but im going to assume that you did not notice that, nor could you ever appreciate it.
I usually do not like Brad Pitt, i have never thought him a good actor, yet in this film he portrays his character very well, he fits the role set upon him and i do not disagree with the casting. -

This movie is one of my all time favorites. I thought it was under-rated and a must see. The characters were perfectly written and casted. This could not have been better. The score was incredible and moving. This was by far the most compelling and complete movie Ive ever had the privilege to see. The acting was absolutely inspiring and uplifting. I would go so far as to say this is number one in my book and I think it should have won Oscars for each character and score. Ive never seen a movie that could create so much tension without saying a word. A truly great film, a work of art!!

I loved the movie but I'm not about to say that it was a great one. Something about it was really good for me, though I can easily see how it's viewed as bad by that stereotypical guy.
I loved the idea of the movie, it was very original. I like the dialogue and the way it was musically scored. Anthony Hopkins was great and this movie really sold me him as an actor (I only remember me seeing him as Dr. Lector. Yeah, I know he's a great actor and this is a bad movie to insinuate it was his greatest performance but I've just not seen any other ones from him, so sorry about that)
I would say it's a guilty pleasure but I don't feel guilty about it, so that's that. -

I am a guy but I like a lot of different movies. I just don't see this as being a bonafide chick flick. More of a dark comedy. I might be biased though because I have thought that Brad Pitt is a cool actor since 12 Monkeys, Kalifornia, Se7en, etc. I had only this and Fight Club left to complete seeing all his movies.
