firstly and i really enjoy this movie and it message and which be about dare to live life to the full . very poetic and with heartwarming and funny and sad scene and very lively and it be a pleasure to watch . here be my exception though represent the movie be way too long and at some point and it keep add more and more additional conflict so that it start to lose the main story line . i disagree though with another comment that it unrealistic to have so many people with strange problem in such a small village . i think this be absolutely realistic . there be incredible drama go on everywhere and we just do not know this about people we meet only superficially . i dislike the end and which be so loaded with symbolism and extremely force . it leave a bad taste a it be just too much . i do not like it that so many big issue be dramatically mention in the group ( when some accuse others in front of everyone else of major thing and people would just be more ashamed to voice everything so personal in front of everybody and even if those people be a group one be closely work with ) . and represent defend oneself be a human being strong instinct . so why on earth would daniel let himself be beat and never fight back and not even to defend himself . i mean he be not weak and he could at least try to defend himself when attack but it just drive me mad to see him do nothing . it be a if the storyteller try to forcefully bring across a message like violence be not need and but the way he choose to do this be not good . i be also against violence but the character lose credibility when he stay unmoved despite all the attack . and represent gabriella . why on earth would a woman and who have spend year with a man beat her up and go to that man when he get arrest and say i do not wish you any harm . you have just do your best and like all of u . oh really and this spoil so much . be she go to be a saint or what . it would be normal for her to be bitter but not so almost holy and therefore not human . be her work with daniel and the music so great that it make her forget all of the st that happen to her . oh and please . so and these be the spoiling moment . nevertheless and i still think this be a delightful movie all in all and which be amazing enough and give my discomfort with quite a few thing . watch it . while ) .
