Title: A Summer Movie that Actually Makes You Think!!
Review: For those who actually like to be ENGAGED when we watch movies, summertime is usually the nadir of the year. Lavish special effects complemented by treacly dialogue make me usually stay home when the latest "blockbuster" is released. However, in the summer of 1997, this baby came along and was a breath of fresh air. Actually having a movie get people to think about the meaning of life and their own existence is a fairly daunting task for a movie, but this one succeeds smashingly. Having used it in my classes, I can attest that these questions can cut across ages and get down to the heart of us all. It was also nice that this movie was fairly successful, making close to 100 million. Like the best movies, repeated viewings just strengthen the message within.
