| | Wonderful movie | DeiGoddess 04/11/2009 | | I thought this movie was great. You had to really pay attention in order to actually follow the story, such as how he learn to understand what the people were saying. For me, the movie helped me to understand some things in the spiritual although it is not a spiritual movie. I lost my original copy of this movie, but when I start my collection back up, it is definitely going to be there. |
