i will not write a lot about the story since so much be already say in the preceding comment . however i will tell how i come to watch it . it be very late one weekday night and the rest of the family have go to bed . i be dead tired and just about to turn off the tv and there be this film and all or nothing and about to begin in one of the two non commercial public service channel ( which might be one explanation why it transfix me no interruption with inane request to buy anti wrinkle cream ) . and i be just completely enthralled . i be dreadfully tired and my eye be red and swell from exhaustion but i just couldn not stop watching . when the movie be finish at around two oclock my eye be also red and swell from cry and yet i be completely sober and so unprepared for this absolutely gripping film experience with the most wonderful actor . one of the best ever .
