Narnia
Fabulous choice of leading men. Really. The contrast between them was perfect. I personally wish for them to both have long successful careers.
The supporting actors were wonderful. The humor in this movie is great, and mostly carried by the supporting actors.
You MUST like gears to enjoy this movie. They are everywhere. Along with chains.
You must also not really care about which time period the movie is set in, as laptops & abacuses, Gattling guns & drones, digital cameras & puttees co-exist.
My favorite thing in this movie was a coffin that unfolded into a desk/office suite, along with a book case that I will lust after for the rest of my life.
Will I re-watch this? Absolutely. I am sure there are things I missed.
I strongly feel there will be a video game.

The strength and charm of this movie is the actors' ability to say so much with so little. Both the younger and older actors did an amazing job.
Make sure you are ready for a slow-paced movie when you watch this. It will repay your patience several-fold.
There are only a few pieces of music in this, mostly variations on a theme, going from hesitant to lush.
Given that I just watched this, I'm not sure if I'll rewatch it soon. I adored it, so maybe in a few years.

The actors did an amazing job portraying the many ways of friendship, the love we feel for those who walk through life with us, and how even as we change and grow the connection remains.
I will absolutely re-watch this. There is apparently something about a chicken-onna-string that I missed.
While I'm not familiar with the music, Leslie Cheung is mentioned many times.

Life totally enriched by this.
You may ask yourself, should I watch this? I am here to tell you YES YOU SHOULD.This is a complete package of a drama. Fluff! Angst! Hilarity! What was that! Noooo!!!! Yes!!!!!
I had no idea when I started what I thought was a creampuff would become a beautifully balanced eight course meal. It slid gently & smoothly into emotional complexity.
Every single person involved in this production can stand tall & know they produced a work of art. This was completely charming, on every level. Many small touches that showed care.
