But I could see why it's mud-mucked feelgood tone was such a universal hit around the world. And on my tiny part of space that I occupy on this plan"

" Notes: When it won the Best Picture Academy Award, I became quite intrigued by this movie. Apparently, at first, nobody was interested by this project and there was even some rumors that it might end up being released directly on DVD. Eventually, it managed to get released and the critical and public response was really enthusiast and, coming from nowhere, it was even heralded at the Oscars.
