She said the scenery was stunning, and the ending was very sad. Over all she liked it. Only one other person in the theater (matinee showing).

What was your experience?

It was indeed stunning scenery, the oohs and ahhs in the theater were most evident when sweeping landscapes were shown. Of course, this was about half an hour out of NYC, and I would imagine that such sights were not too commonplace for most of the moviegoers in that location. I told my girlfriend that I could take her to places that looked like that out here in the Northwest, and indeed, on her visit here, we went to the Oregon Coast to see the incredible vistas.

Yes, the ending was very sad. I guess the "message" of the movie is that you should go out and do what you need to do to be happy, rather than pretend that something else will make you happy. I suppose that Hollywood glommed on to this film as a counter to the political support that anti-gay marriage initiatives have received in the states where they've been on the ballot.

As a live and let live person, I can see their point. The problem comes with deciding what crosses the line between asking to be left alone, and shoving things down someone else's throat. I know a lot of my fellow Freepers think this film crosses that line, but I didn't see it that way.
