For the first time, I didn't want to watch the movie, not because the movie sucks, but because then I wouldn't have seen the finale..

It's a tough movie. It touches you to the depths of your soul.
About freaks and people...

I didn't think that after The Green Mile, some kind of movie would be able to give me the same intense pain and feeling of emptiness.
