A wonderful love story.......I cried and cried. The characters were very real. It beats Bridges of Madison County.

What were they thinking? Those filmmaker...
Added 3/1/2005
Well, well, well, if I didn't read the book first, maybe I would have had diferent opinion on this movie. But I think the way they end the movie did total injustice to the original story of the book. Correct me if I am wrong but the impression I got from the book was that Evie was his true love from the beginning and it was his realization of that and finally being free from his obseession over Silvia made it possible for him to find the music again.
In movie, they end it the way make you think that Silvia was his true love then and now and her love and his grief over her death made him find his lost music. They made it look like Evie is second best after all. Wrong, wrong, wrong way to interpret teh book.
I know you have to look at the book and the movie seperately but since I like the book a lot, I am really dissapointed they way they filmed it. I almost feel cheated...
If you didn't read the book and wondering what I am talking about, all you need to do is go and read the final three chapters. I much rather prefer book's ending than the movie version.

I loved this movie. The acting was wonderful as well as the setting! Be prepared to get a bit weepy though. I highly recommend this movie if you like love stories!

She's worth it
Added 10/15/2004
This movie could have been done so much better. It had potential, but seems almost like it was just rushed through. It ends up leaving many rough edges that ruin much of the movie. HOWEVER, men especially, it is well worth it just to see Marisa Tomei's performance, which is extraordinarily endearing. Another reviewer said she is so cute, I agree, but would say that is an understatement. I believe most men will leave this movie yearning to be with "Evie" themselves.

Wonderful and diferent love story
Added 11/18/2001
I saw this movie other day, here in Brazil,and I loved it. The story is wonderful and shows how love can be unexpected. We can't know who loved more... .The story between Sylvia and Mathew shows that for the true love there are no frontiers. I loved Marisa Tomei also but I would prefer he had finished with his only true love,Sylvia. You should do this great movie in a DVD version also, because of the beautiful images. I wait for a DVD version, including here in Brazil. Congratulations for the americans for this beautiful story!!
