ATA238 (24 May 2012)

A fun, allegorical and underrated film, "Cowboy Bebop: The Movie" rules!

Being familiar with the name of the anime series, at first, thatsporadically airs on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim showcase (I'm not alate-night TV watcher), I was interested in the theatrical film version ofCOWBOY BEBOP. Unfortunately, I didn't have cash when the film came out inselective theaters. Fortunately, I got the film on DVD and I fell in lovewith it. 2071 is the year and Mars is the planet to be since the Earth was damagedby a geological disaster. Human civilization and the things that make it uphave thrived. So has the criminal element. A tanker truck is exploded duringmorning rush hour in Alba City, Mars's capital metropolis, releasing adeadly virus that kills once inhaled. The ISSP (Inter Solar Systems Police)is baffled, due to red tape, ineffectiveness and corrpution. A large reward,300 million woolongs (Martian currency) is advertised, and the bountyhunting crew of the spacecraft, "Bebop", are on the case (Bounty hunters arereferred as "cowboys"). It's Scooby-Doo and his pals, R-rated style.Imagine a 20-something Clint Eastwood who's Jewish and moves like Bruce Lee,and you have main hero Spike Spiegel, a devil-may-care guy who deals withhis adversaries with wit, bullets and Jeet Kun Do. He's a cool cat with coolmoves. His good partner, Jet Black, is an ex-ISSP man, who lost his armduring a police case. Being the oldest, Jet's respects the old ways ofcombat and honor, making him hungry for being a "solo act" and not dealingwith Spike's "eagerness" during tense situations. Sexiness and craftiness is handled by Faye Valentine (the sexiest characterin anime, I think), a "gypsy" who dresses like a harlot yet fights like theboys. Her downfall is gambling her money and her life. She's lucky when itcomes down to her life. Faye and Spike are hard yet playful rivals when itcomes down to the bounty. They look like lovers but fight like siblings.Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV (what a name!) could be their sister.Yeah. Kid sister. 13 years old and the only Earth-born member, Ed's an idiotsavant. She's a genius with computers, but her feelings and mercurial,feline-like personality get in the way of normal social logic. In one scene,she dives into a vase. Spike refers to her as a trained seal. Any parentwould probably drink if Ed was their kid. Imagine if she discovered boys?And there's Ein, a dog from the Welsh Corgi breed who's smarter than youraverage Welsh Corgi, let alone a dog. Not only he can play shoji, the Marsversion of chess, Ein can identify bounties, like the movie's wraith-likevillain, Vincent Volaju, an soldier thought to be dead three years agoduring a war on Titan, one of Saturn's moons. This guy has death written onhis face. Another hunter after Volaju is Electra Ovilo, an agent for a shiftypharmaceutical company and a woman whom Spike falls for. "I like the kind ofwoman who can kick my ass," he says while fighting her. But Electra hasVincent on her mind. The connection between them would be saying too much.The routine plot and the standard TV animation by Sunrise (they worked onthe show) is actually helped by the vivid characters and the electricjazz-rock-funk score of the TV series' composer Yoko Kanno (the femaleanswer to Lalo Schifrin, the creator of the "Mission: Impossible" theme) andthe band Seatbelts. Also, director Shinchiro Watanabe, the helmsman of all26 episodes and two "Animatrix" shorts, makes "Bebop" a sweet stew ofdifferent locales and cultures (the animators have traveled to New York,Paris and Morocco for references), subtle comedy, tense drama and fierceaction sequences. The dogfight scene, with Kanno's toe-tapping score, issuperb: Spike avoiding three army jets in his Swordfish craft. Like Osamu Tezkua's METROPOLIS, BEBOP is an interesting allegory to theSept 11. attacks. In fact, the film was released in its native Japan tendays before the attacks, making it a hot potato for Sony Pictures'Destination Films department. They released it anyway, and I'm happy forthat. The DVD extras are neat too, including six documentaries that focus onthe TV show's transition to theatrical film, the international appeal andthe four main heroes. Seeing both the English and Japanese voice actors is atreat. With no sense of social cowardice in an unsure world, "Bebop" is a smooth,sweet middle finger for those who feel animated films and TV shows should beonly for kids.

Vincent Black (23 May 2012)

Excuse me I thought you were dead?

I have watched the entire TV series and anyone who saw the last twopart episode "Real Folks Blues" would agree with me. Spike died killingVicious, at the end he lifts his finger at the remaining syndicatethugs and says, "Bang." and collapses on the steps. Now are we toassume that one of the thugs yells, "Hey, get this man to a doctor!"after the credits roll? That issue aside, this movie is rather typicalof the series but lacked the comedy relief the series had in so manyepisodes. I could have called it a "filler" since Spike didn't exactlysay his girl died, at least in the English dub I watched he never saidit to Electra while in the cell. So I tend to look at this movie asbeing somewhere in the middle of the TV series and not after it in thetime line.The plot drags quite a bit and lacks the thrill, suspense, and laughsthe series had going. Even without watching the series or comparing thetwo together, this movie was still very average and was obviously heldback by the 9/11 attack. There was some very Arabic characters one thatlit Spike's cigarette with a grenade lighter. Probably funny to mostprior to 9/11 but not politically correct humor today.Edward is always a riot but the character was not used fully in thismovie. Even Jet Black seemed to take a backseat in this movie as he sataboard the BeBop and worried about where everyone had gone. It couldhave been a lot better with less of the drama scenes of Vincent gazingout a window waxing about life and death and more of the antics weexpect from the crew of the BeBop....See you later Space Cowboy!

EMDevilman (21 May 2012)

An excellent addition to an excellent series

Cowboy Bebop: Heaven's Door is neither a continuation nor a finalconclusionto the Cowboy Bebop series. It is an addition that serves to furtherenricha series that was well-known for it's somewhat questionable depth ofcharacter.Fans of the series will appreciate this movie moreso than the casualmovie-goer. Those familiar with the series will understand the motives ofthe Bebop's crew better. It is, however, able to be watched on it's own,with no previous knowledge of the series.For all intents and purposes, Vincent serves as a parallel to Spike, bothcharacters having chillingly similar views on the universe and life.Vincent's missing past was not a choice, as it is with Spike, but his pastis the reason why he has become what he is.Cowboy Bebop is well-known to "borrow" elements from books, movies, music,TV shows, and most anything decidedly media-related pop-culture. Such isthe case of he borrowed materials from aforementioned books andmovies.Heaven's Door is decidedly well in keeping with CB's style, never gettingintoo deep with characterizations, instead depending on a myriad ofsubtletiescontained in the dialog to promote character development andstories.There is some remarkable silliness, of course, which is a Cowboy Beboptrademark. The entire deal with the old vintage airplanes seemedunnecessary, including the `cure' developed for the nanites.Don't get me wrong, this is certainly not the greatest film of all time,butit IS one of the best series' movies made, towering over others of it'skind. It's a good, fun watch by anyone even remotely familiar with CowboyBebop.9/10

3 stars (out of 4)

This animated film opens with a convenience store robbery, which is stopped,although not without incident, by Spike Spiegel and Jet Black. The initialassumption, at least by viewers like me who are unfamiliar with CowboyBebop, is that Spike and Jet are cops, but it quickly becomes clear thatthey are bounty hunters. The attitude is completely different.Soon we are introduced to the rest of the Bebop crew. Faye Valentine is awoman who more or less holds her own with the guys, but is drawn withunrealistically large breasts. A young girl with the confusing name of Ed(short for Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV) is the computer expert of thegroup, but seems pretty clueless in all other areas. And Ein (short forEinstein, I think) is a dog who seems to have human-level intelligence,although this wasn't explained.The main plot begins when Faye is going after someone who is in a hijackedchemical truck. As she closes in on him with her seriously futuristic flyingvehicle (this is *not* set in the present), the truck explodes and all thepeople nearby die. But Faye sees someone, who does *not* look like theperson she was chasing, leave the truck and walk away unhurt.My favorite part was the opening, and the film seemed to drag a bit in themiddle. The funny bits seemed to work better than the action, and the dramadidn't work at all for me. This Japanese anime film is based on a televisionseries of the same name, and it seems to me that perhaps this film wasstretched out a bit longer than it should have been. But the fun parts weregood enough to make me glad I saw it, and the music was goodtoo.Seen on 11/8/2002 at the 2002 Hawaii International Film Festival, where thisshowing was sold out to a very enthusiastic audience, who mostly seemed toalready know all about Cowboy Bebop.

James Mattison (20 May 2012)

Excellent

Being a fan of the Cowboy Bebop series, I have to say that his movie wassimply extraordinary. Though admittedly it did drag its feet at times andhave a few small plot holes, this did not keep me from giving it thehighestrecommendation possible.I strongly recommend this series to anyone who is fond of the animeseries.However, I would strongly recommend familiarization with the series viaviewing the DVDs before one goes out and sees this film.

Gary Feldman (19 May 2012)

Anime for the action lover/psychology major...

Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no tobira(Japan, animated, color, 2001) A.K.A.Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' On Heaven's Door or Cowboy Bebop: The Moviethanks to Bob Dylan's lawyers and the lackwits at Columbia TriStarFilms Cast(French dub): Bruno Muellenaerts(Spike Spiegel) ArnaudLeonard(Vincent Volaju) Stephane Flamand(Edward) Shinichiro Watanabe's1998 series Cowboy Bebop is considered by many to be a classic ofanimation on television, oozing style, violence and a great jazz-basedscore from every pore of it's existence. After a somewhat lengthyabsence(long enough for Cartoon Network to release an English dub), theBebop crew return in this fabulous film(released in North America in2002 to some quite positive reviews from art house critics) that takesan interesting story and expands it in a way the series couldn't,there's some SERIOUS philosophical depth here, not as much as, say, EndOf Evangelion, but enough for your average action flick.Opening with an insanely cool convenience store robberysequence(replete with memorable dialogue and a cool "fish-eye" framingtechnique) and not letting up until it's VERY METAPHORICAL andbeautifully animated ending. CB:TNT packs on humor, drama, thrills andDEEP THOUGHT by the crateful. You'll laugh, you'll scream, you'll shout"THAT WAS F**KING COOL!!!!", you'll have the distinct urge to crash alecture on the human psyche! This movie has it all!Our protagonists are Spike(lazily voiced by a bored-soundingMuellenaerts), a slacking loser of a bounty hunter who harbors an"interesting" past, Jet(I couldn't find a voice credit for the Frenchdub on IMDb), a ex-cop and master of vegetarian cooking, Faye(same aslast note), a problem gambler with amnesia and Edward(given a soulfullybizarre lilt by Flamand), an androgynous female hacker with zeroattention span and an unholy amount of flexibility(which she spendsmost of the film demonstrating). After a search for a local hacker witha five million dollar bounty on his head goes horridly wrong, the gangare left in pursuit of Vincent Volaju(Who Leonard lends an inherentamount of spookiness to), a bioterrorist with a military history whosupposedly has been dead for the past three years., and really is!After close to two hours of comedy, violence and mind-f**k plotdevelopments, the end credits roll and you may wedge your way from theedge of your seat. The film entertains on many a level and will morethan certainly please fans of the series as well as newcomers. Despiteme having the desire to watch it French, the film is best experiencedwith the English dub(close to flawless, expect minor characters arewooden and there are a few agitating accents) or the originalJapanese(despite the "authenticity", I never enjoyed the Japanesevoices for the Bebop crew, except Jet) with subtitles in a language ofyour choice.Verdict: 100/100, not be missed by anyone who loves action or anime.

I expected more.

"Well, that's a real shame. But, we're not cops and we're not from somecharity organization. Sorry lady, we don't protect or serve. This isstrictly business."One word came to my mind after watching this. Unnecessary.I have been putting off watching the Cowboy Bebop movie for severalyears now. I'm a huge fan of the show, but I had heard and read so manymixed or negative reviews of the movie online and from friends, that Iwas hesitant to see it. In the end, though, I figured that any CowboyBebop had to be somewhat worthwhile. That turned out to be partiallytrue, but I still find myself disappointed.To be blunt, the story was completely uninteresting. Each episode ofthe series was like a (good) mini-movie on its own, so I don't get whygiving the creators more time to develop and tell this story, ended upproducing something that wasn't nearly as engaging as any given one ofthe original episodes. It felt like the decision to make the movie camefirst, and very little effort was put into making a worthy plot to goalong with it.The new characters are uniformly dull, much of the soundtrack was poor(How did THAT happen? Where's the jazz?), and the film as a whole feltdisjointed, at best. I tried as hard as o could to like it all, but themost positive description I can give for my experience is "meh".I'll admit that it warmed my fanboy heart to see Spike, Faye, and thegang in action again. The animation was very good, and some of theaction scenes were top notch. But without the great storytelling thatwe've all come to expect, I'd recommend this to only the most ferventCowboy Bebop fan. You'd have much more fun in the same amount of timeby just watching four of your favorite episodes of the show.Â

This movie mixes so many genres together that anyone will love it.

I think this is a great movie. Of course it is. Why? The series it wasbased on is something that everyone must watch. Not just anime geeks ormovie geeks but everyone. Unfortunatley, ever since I saw the series andthe film, I have become hooked on anime. I wouldn't reccomend watchingthismovie unless you watch the series in its entirety first. Just watch thefirst episode of this series and if you like it (you will) than watch themovie. This movie is good in its own right but if you see the seriesfirstthe movie becomes a lot more satisfying. The genres this movie mixes arewestern, sci-fi, anime, kung-fu, drama, and just a hint of comedy. If youwatch this movie than that last sentence will make sense.

B E S T ANIME M O V I E ... E V E R

Watched "Knockin' on Heavens door" about 2 months ago. What an awesomeanimefreature, its feel-good, fun, action packed and delivers a movie just likean extended episode. KOHD is great because it DOESENT finish off theseries,and doesent have a profound deep message to expain, it just kicks ass.YokoKannos original score to the movie is soooooooo good, especially Theopeningtheme "Blame it on DNA".Also the badguy Vincent, kicks ass, and could kick Vicous' ass any day. Sooverall theres a fairly large amount of asses kicked in thismovie.If you want a good almost-nobrainer anime to watch then Cowboy bebopKnockin' on heavens door will absolutely deliver.

Ryan Miller (15 May 2012)

A tribute to the series itself

If the Cowboy Bebop series in itself was unsatisfying, this film willfillthat void.The crew of the Bebop is still intact, along with 2 new characters,Vincentand Electra.Vincent is the antagonist, a man who cannot tell whether the world he isinis a dream or reality. He is the in the center of a biological weaponcrisis, a new disease that degrades the human brain.Electra is a policeman, who ends up helping Spike & company attempt stopVincent from spreading this biological disease.It's just like any other episode of Bebop - a wild, thrilling goose-chasefor a bounty, except that it's 2 and a half hours long, the animation iseven more enthralling and the tension is higher.The story itself may confuse you for most of the film, but that won'tstopyou from watching it. The deep plot and pacing action will keep yourattention, and closer to the end the enigma seems to makesense.This film left me speechless, and if you give it your attention you willbeleft as i was.

siderite (13 May 2012)

A good anime movie, breaking a lot of the patterns in the genre

I really enjoyed this film. I didn't watch the series, only oneepisode, but I felt that you didn't really need to see the episodes tounderstand the movie.I thought that the intelligence community in the movie was reallyweird, but the atmosphere was very nice. Bio terrorism, hacking, humandimension, all blended into a nice mix, without dazzling with strangeand implausible technology.I liked the extra footage after the credits, where they show the peoplein the city they saved, as to bring an extra value to the actions inthe film. The sad-romantic-warrior theme is common to Japanese films,but still enjoyable.I think it is definitely worth a watch.====== after watching the seriesThe series is great and I felt awful when it ended so abruptly afterwhat it seemed like a few episodes. The film captures the ideas in theseries very well and this is something very few series manage toaccomplish.

mgi22586 (12 May 2012)

Well Done.

Spoilers Herein.The fans of the Cowboy Bebop series should be satisfied if not impressed bythis movie. Personally, I had seem some Cowboy Bebop going into this movie,but not alot. This really does not matter, because the movie stands alonewell enough, and you really don't need to have that much backgroundknowledge of the characters. In some cases it might actually help, becauseyou will be more impacted by the situations in the movie, not knowing thatthey always get out of their perdicaments.This is one of the better anime movies I have seen, while not the best. Itis worth a watch none the less. The plot keeps the viewer entertained forthe entire movie, but this plot seems to be getting generic and overused inanime movies. This seems to borrow elements form both Akira and Jin-Roh. All of these have the almost apocalyptic element with terrorists andeverything, perhaps coincidentally, all are very good.I personally find it interesting that the entire soundtrack of the movieconsists of English songs, and I saw the subtitled version, so its not likethey translated them for a dub. This is actually one of the low points forthe movie in my opinion because the music seems frequently out of place. For instance, when they are on the way to face Vincent for the last time,they are playing this happy frollicing music that seems out of place. However, if this is one of the only problems with the movie, then I guessthat means it is a pretty good movie.This is a very good title and is worth a viewing for fans of the CowboyBebop series and people who don't know what Cowboy Bebop is alike. Eventhough this is a good movie, I would still say that Jin-Roh and Ghost in theShell are better, and are worth a watch as well if you like thistitle.Rating: 4 out of 5.

nachothecheesyone (08 May 2012)

Hard to find, but worth it.

I really am disappointed in the way this film was marketed.First of all, I had to drive about 90 miles to catch this film in LongBeach, to one of only 5 theaters in the area that even had this title atanon-ridiculous time (12:18 at night?!!) Second, the little to nopromotionof this film from Sony, Adult Swim, and Sunrise tells me that this is notavery low-budget marketing effort in any part (yet films like "What A GirlWants" that fits a very limited audience is plastered all over the smallscreen) of a film whose plot lines rivals the completeness of anyMiyazakifilm. Third, the only time I saw the trailer was online. Why wasn'tthisin any theatre??Okay, petty ranting aside, this was an excellent movie... very wellwritten,good for those who haven't seen the series at all, involving actionsequences (Watanabe is an excellent director), and very interesting plotdevices. The soundtrack is superb (and I am very disappointed that thereisno soundtrack commercially available for this title) with Mai Yamatedoingan excellent job with the credits track again, just like music on theseriesepisodes "Ballad of Fallen Angels" and "Real Folk Blues" Pt. 2. YokoKannoand house-band Seat Belts made the mop-fighting scene irresistable, withstings from the song matching blow-for-blow the action on screen.Musically, this anime is alone a prime example of just how capable musiccanbe on putting anime on a level playing field with other motionpictures.The disappointments? Just a few: (as we all are aware than no motionpicture is perfect) the story did continue the plot line of the entireseries, but it left Ed, Ein and Faye as more flat, predictablecharacters,as Spike and Jet got even more developed. This leaves first timers totheseries a little disdainful to otherwise very human performances in theseries, as you see Faye change from gambler to jaded wanderer to almostbackto where she belongs in the world. In the film, she's just an annoyingtag-along for Jet & Spike to take care of.SPOILER ALERT -- STOP READING FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIEAlso, one of the plot devices, the butterflies, were present in someshotsof Electra and Volaju, but where were they with Jet and others, and whyweren't people freaking out with this at the Halloween Festival? If Iwasin that crowd, and saw those flashes of light, I'd think it was a cooleffect, but when I got home, I'd be going nuts trying to make them goaway!Also, with Spike, would the butterflies affect his already unnaturalvision?It'd be annoying using a digital eye with those glasses with butterfliesobscuring your vision!Aside from that, I was very satisfied with the movie, and can't wait fortheDVD!

SeptumSin (08 May 2012)

A great movie as per the series.

If you want the good points of this then you should see my review ofthe series. This movie is very good for a fan of the series. Again toreview the pluses fall under music, animation and story.The animation and music are actually even better than in the series andthough the only drawback is that it pretty much is one drawn outepisode this movie is still worth your viewing if you like the seriesor would like to enjoy that Bebop feeling again or if you are justlooking for a stand alone movie.For those of you unfamiliar with the series this film makes a goodaction flick with a compelling story that will have you watching.

Fate_Threads (06 May 2012)

Cowboy Bebop, one of the greatest animes...

What separates Cowboy Bebop from all other animes is the fighting is abit more realistic, for example the people aren't throwing energyaround or anything. I'm not saying it is fully realistic, just that itis more realistic than most animes. The characters, they're perfectlycreated their attitudes intertwine perfectly with each others'. Theyhave more depth than some unanimated movies I have seen. The movie alsokeeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time, not a disappointmentto the series in its entirety. As for the people that do not likeAnime, they like Cowboy Bebop, showing it is the acme of anime.Although the series was short it was one of the greatest series, notonly were the characters meticulously detailed but the story line hadevery aspect needed to make it good. Any one who thinks Cowboy Bebop isjust any other anime, they are utterly wrong. Great movie and series Irecommend it to any one ages 14 and older, and those below that agethat know the difference between what is right and wrong. The moviealso shows different cultures, which is not shown in many other animeswhich only adds to its greatness.

Lonnie McCullough (05 May 2012)

Beautiful in almost every sense of the word

First off, the animation here is absolutely stunning (the same crew thatdoes the series naturally did the movie). The dialog is smart withoutbeingbrainy and the whole thing has the same light-hearted feel to it that theseries does. That being said, the only criticism I can really level atCowboy Bebop: The Movie is that it is too much like the series. Themovieis quite a bit like one or two of the episodes that we have all alreadyseen(if you are a fan of the series). If you have never seen any of theCowboyBebop episodes on Adult Swim or don't have the boxed set then you willstillbe able to enjoy the film on a purely visceral level as it has so manydazzingly executed sequences (the closing action sequence is amazing)thatto not enjoy it you would have to be brain dead. Even though the filmdoesn't deviate too much from the series (this is not really a bad thingeither) everyone who likes action, anime and the intersection of the twoshould be thoroughly pleased with this film.

biohazard_will (05 May 2012)

One of the best films I've seen...

As a fan of Cowboy Bebop, I jumped at the opportunity to view this movie.And from the start I was hooked. After the shows disappointing ending, Iwaswondering what this movie was going to be about, and how all the maincharacters (Spike, Faye, Jet, Ed, and of course Einstine the dog) wouldbeincorporated in it.The movie takes place between sessions 22, and 23 of the normal show,justbefore (For you Bebop fans) Faye, Ed, and Ein brreak their ties with theBebop to reclaim their own pasts. From there you should know Spike andJetget into a uun battle with a few Red Dragon thugs, Spike choses his fate,and kills Vicious. But he falls in the battle.Anywho, just like all the Cowboy Bebop sessions, 'Knockin' on heavinsdoor'had great choreographed fight scenes, a few memorable ones are "Spike vs.Electra" in the goverment building, and the "Spike vs. Army" spacefighterchase twards the end. And even the three old men, who sit around on theirass and smoke cigarettes through the show show up to save theday.One of my favorite scenes, is in the beginning. When Spike and Jet go togetsome "Small frys" who held up a convience store somewhere on Mars. AsSpikeand Jet argue over petty things, the fourth robber (Who spike and jetdidn'tknow about) kinda gives them a wierd look, then takes some mean old ladyhostage.

dave (04 May 2012)

It's alright.....

The movie was alright, but I couldn't help feel like this was a more drawnout episode of Bebop. The movie takes place between episodes 22 and 23 andit's basically a lost adventure of the Bebop crew. Not that there's anythingwrong with that of course. It just felt like something was missing. Vincentmakes a decent villian. I found the character Electra rather dull.All in all Cowboy Bebop:The Movie is mostly just a fun little actionromp.I suggest to those who never seen Bebop and want to get into it to watch theseries first.I give it a 6.5/10

BunninDatPiff420 (30 April 2012)

Great anime film

MPAA:Rated R for Violence. Quebec Rating:13+ Canadian Home VideoRating:14ACowboy Bebop the movie is an excellent anime film based on an excellentcartoon from Japan.I have seen a couple of episodes of the Japaneseanime and it is excellent as well.I saw the movie years before I sawthe show because I live in Canada and they don't play the showhere.Anyway it has been a while since I have seen the movie and I don'tremember the storyline of the film very well but what I can say is thatit has excellent animation,an excellent storyline and is overall anexcellent anime film.Maybe the best anime film I have ever seen.For anyanime fan, this film is worth watching.

okami_ito (29 April 2012)

Nearly perfect.

This is a work of genius. I really loved the melancholic style of theseries and was afraid to see the movie because i thought it wouldn'ttransport the special feeling "Cowboy Bebop" has. But Wantanabe notonly managed to be true to the original manga-series he made itperfectly fit into the totally different structure of a motion picturewith all the laconic glory it deserved. Surprisingly it is a lot moreviolent than one could expect plus it has a sublime nihilistic attitudeand a lot of really sad moments which make this movie only morelovable. I really hate myself for not seeing it on the big screen. It'sso beautiful.
