Congratulations To All Of You


This is the sweetest and most sincere message board I've ever read on these often contentious, (not to say infantile and unpleasant), forums.

It's a beautiful and fitting testament to this great work of art. Thank you everyone.

I saw this film the week it was released, with a now dead friend. It has always been among those I would save from flames if the world were about to end. I remember that viewing, and the dozens since, like a summer day, at the age of eight, with a friend, by a lake, in a dream.

I just saw the film a few minutes ago and went to this board to say how much I enjoyed it.
I loved the humour that is funny without getting vulgar or offensive. I laughed a lot and enjoyed the pleasant trip.

Kinomachtfrei, your lovely elegaic words brought tears to my eyes.

Yes, this message board has been a little Furness of its own, a blessed haven from mean-spritedness, where people can be themselves. Not surprising really, for lovers of such a sweet yet canny movie.
