A good movie

Basically, it is one of those movies that I had like forever on dvd (seriously, I think I bought it at least 3 years ago maybe) and I thought it was really time to finally watch the damned thing. Honestly, the beginning was pretty shabby (I think my dad gave up within the first 20 minutes) with some really sappy soundtrack (surprisingly, I discovered that it was composed by no one else than Hans Zimmer). Still, it slowly grew on me and it turned out to be one of the most satisfying love story I have seen lately. Indeed, it was dealing with two people who shared a thirst for fantasy and who didn't want to be limited by the moral constraints of their time. Unlike other romances, their relationship was rather conflicted which was something really refreshing and, for once, you could understand why they were attracted to one and another. Indeed, I think it took them at least 1 hour before they had one very passionate kiss but, unfortunately, the story never really went further than this. I mean, it was pretty obvious that they were both in love but their relationship got stuck in this endless bickering and it became rather tiresome at some point. Still, I really liked that they focused on those characters who very well played by Renée Zellweger (before she became a household name) and Vincent D'Onofrio and there was no annoying sub-plot or unnecessary supporting character to distract us from the main story. Anyway, to conclude, in spite its flaws, it was a pretty good romance and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
