    **bittersweet** the movie was highquality, the visuals, sounds, sets, and raw emotion contributed well towards the end. i think that there was a point where after a while i didn't really care..i just felt numb. unrealistically i did wish for a different ending.. maybe i just wanted an escape from reality-from what was bound to happen, but really seeing that come true was unexpected to say the least. this movie made me kick my feet in bed, laugh, cry, and ultimately bittersweet making it a movie with all i could wish for. ps: watch on a rainy day, u won't be able to hear ur tears
