well make with excellent performance and but not at all what be promise . i have hop to see a self destructive man who be change by his circumstance and especially by a wise woman . while that happen and it only happen because he be face death . what a cop out . anyone would embrace strong spiritual guidance when force to cope with a very early end to their life . i think the movie really miss an opportunity to make it point . resort to such a time worn cliché make the writer or director seem lazy . if i would know the whole film be a promo for buddaism and i would have skip it . i be surprise so many writer on this site be so impressed . yes and it not the typical hollywood fare and but that doesn not automatically make it a great movie .
