an engaged woman get a visit from a boy claim to the reincarnation of her dead husband from year ago . at first she be very skeptical like every normal human be would be about a silly claim like that but after the boy begin to mention some thing that only the real husband of the woman would know she begin to believe him and fall in love with him which cause problem for everyone around her the first time i saw this i really hat it . i think if i have write a review for it back then i would have give the movie a 1 mostly because of the horrific end that make no sense what so ever . but i think after you watch the movie again expect the crappy end you really begin to see the movie a what it be which be a look at how one little event can destroy someone life if theyre not careful . when we first meet kidman character she be a seemingly happy woman that have put the past behind her and be enjoy her life for the most part and but once the boy come into her life we see how it begin to affect her and how a rational woman can go insane . you would think someone like her would never fall what be feed to her but she actually believe it which cause problem for her whether how it dissolve the relationship with her fiancée or how it affect her family . it really nice to watch a her world come tumble down but yet she doesn not realize it because she so in love and believe that the boy be her dead husband . if the movie have keep this go and have an amazing end then i think the movie would become something wonderful but some reason the writer just seem to have run out of idea and just give u an end that should make people want to throw thing at the screen . i be not a fan of opera since it bore me to tear but those who do will love the soundtrack on this movie which use various opera cue that i have never hear and do not really care about . kidman would be great in the movie if she be capable of express more than just one emotion in the movie . throughout the movie she look tired and bored and we rarely get to see her smile which be appropriate for her character because her world do get turn upside down . just wish she would smile more . the ten year old boy that the source of everyone misery be play by cameron bright who can be see in the new x men movie a the cure of the mutant gene . he like kidman be somber throughout the movie and i do not think we ever get to see him smile even once in the whole movie . he be very creepy look and scar me quite a bit so i guess he do a great job . with a good end it may have be a masterpiece but a it stand it a really good movie that show how fragile we really be and how one lie can change the course of your life .
