There are many reasons I am immersing myself in it. There is so much to absorb, lines that I missed, etc. I bought the screenplay, and already had the story and I am really studying it. The more I study, the more I see. It just so happens that there are some things going on in my life that parallel the story. Ideas about masculinty, companionship, the tone of one's life, making the most of the time you have...these are all on my plate and the movie speaks to them.

I completely understand and agree with all of that. I hope I didn't give the impression that I didn't like this movie, because I really did. I can't think of another movie where I couldn't stop thinking about it a couple of days after the fact. The emotional impact does sort of creep up on you.

Yup. It is dense and lingering. You wouldn't believe the stories I have been reading about how this film is dramatically changing the lives of people all over the place.
