The most remarkable thing about this film is how, when viewed from their personal perceptions, each character in the film is the protagonist. The characters are so well written, so realistic, so well-rounded, that it's hard for me not to be amazed with this every time I see it. It goes without saying, but the cast is amazing, the care put into every nuance of the film shows the mark of a true master of the cinema. I've enjoyed everything Sam Mendes has put out thus far, and I'm sure I will continue to do so. A worthy winner of the Best Picture Oscar.
