in a way i be disappoint after read the comment because i think i be alone in adore this ravishing and masterful film and and i think i would get to be the sole voice in the wind proudly proclaim it brilliance . year ago and i ho hum my way through view it and and i be so unimpressed and i can not tell you today whether i saw it in a theater or rent it at home . it have be in rather heavy rotation on the movie channel for some reason of late and and i watch it again a few week ago . it simply leave me breathless . i must have watch it twelve time over the last few week and and be die to buy the dvd if it ever come out . scorcese call this his most violent film and and after see it again and alone and watch intently and it strike me how completely right he be . the comment before mine be mostly right on target . i be in awe of the filmmaking and can not say enough about the dramatic subtlety and the opulent production value and the overall magnificent way the entire project be handle . even the normally atrocious winona ryder excel in a role that be simply a tour de force for her . the vapid but yet not so vapid after all may welland . a masterpiece . please see it if you haven not already .
