IMDB
My Rating: 10/10

There are three things in the movie that I just can't resist - myths, family and true love.

Myths, or hyper-reality is what our generation is missing. We scientific people no longer believe in myths, instead we believe in real people, real things, reality. Reality is overrated, it is no fun. Maybe that's why we love stories at the first place, something that carries us away from the boring reality. There was a brief period when I just hated movies, because movies just use whatever techniques that would move us. Maybe, we're all more than happy to be moved by a movie.

Family, has and always will be my favourite subject.

True love, is not something we have everyday. And that makes true love more intriguing in the stories. The love story in the movie is so ordinary, yet so extraordinary.

Also, this movie has a irresistible cast too... I usually don't really like Tim Burton's film, but this is truly an exception.
