    Movies have always been a love of mine. I thought early on in my childhood that I would become a director or actor. When I found out that that neither would never happened, I just stuck to watching them. There are many movies that have had an impact on my life, but none quite like this one. The movie is very compelling. It was wonderfully directed, acting, and written. The ending always gets me!
