I find it very difficult to describe what this film is only in a few words. It is beautiful, emotional, heart breaking, funny, nostalgic and much much more. I recomend it to any person who loves films because of its raw emotion and depiction of love which will make even somebody with the blackest heart shed a tear. In many ways almost everybody can identify with this film and that is why it is such a classic and such a well regarded film.

To live inside a fable, where we can play with time, places and sentiments, a perfect sphere of existence that can only be reached in dreams is a pleasant thought we all cinephiles love to have. As mere mortals, or the infants we still are, we have two ways to conquer that fantasy world, we can either sleep, or we can enter and sit in a dark room, operate a machine and enjoy the ride while we are awake.
That is the theme of one of the most beautiful fairy tales ever portrayed on the silver screen.
The adjectives to describe such amazing story are endless, the truth is that every image and musical note open a path to culminate in one of the most exhilarating, nostalgic, tender, uplifting, colossal and everlasting gems in film history.
