it's rare for a summer blockbuster to surpass its hype and marketing and utterly transcend my expectations.

Despite some bad one-liner reviews which I read fr some's FB status, I watched the movie and I loved it. Think it's Leo's best since titanic (or better, more in depth) and the story is really beyond just unrequited love.... which u rightly pointed out, it's about life, dream and reality. I suppose it could strike a chord with some aj population too coz of its theme... It's surely one of my favorite movies this year!

and about having your dream come true only to wish you had chosen a different dream.

I enjoyed it thoroughly. The 3 actors and yes the supporting cast. Brilliant acting. It's actually the 1st time I found Leo charming. He definitely is better with age. The costumes and set were breathtaking. It's hard to top Moulin Rouge. The party scene in this one was somehow more subdued compared to those in MR. But than that was a cabaret. This one was an exclusive club. Oh but the clothes... and the cars...

i actually wore a brown bow-tie with white stripes last night because of the movie!
