After having watched Slumdog Millionaire my insatiable thirst for quality movies was quenched when I saw this.

It was visually stunning, the characters were beautiful, seriously. I there was not one character in this movie that was out of place, even the "struck by lightning" guy fit well into the story. My personal favorite was the Irish tug boat captain.

The series of shots of Brad Pitt during his younger years on the motorcycle or on the sailboat made me consider going gay for a second.

Anyway, I highly recommend this film. It's a long one, but every minute of it is worth savoring.
