The story is a bit sad, but what a wonderful movie! Quite simple actually, but it's containing so much! It's a perle of a movie, and Christian Bale delivers a perle of a performance, hopefully never to be forgotten! He's so intens, heartrending and amazing as Bobby, and wauw he's really good at crying! I can't say that about many actors, in fact I can't really think of anyone else, because a lot of the really good actors fail at crying. But I couldn't help myself from crying when ever he did, he's just so sweet! Personally, I'd have to say that this is yet another performance that should have gotten him a Oscar. Watch this movie and, yeah, well even though it's a little sad, somehow Bale just makes you feel and think positiv, and feel, well "light" and warm in someway...it's amazing and certainly one to watch!!
