Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Excellent point.

>>> "It's a film about transformation and hope. Maybe it speaks most loudly to those who inherently conneect to those themes. --- If one needs "scientific" reasons for the conditions at the beginning of the movie and the hope at the end then one is bound to be disappointed (even if only a little)." <<<

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I try to employ both heart & mind when watching films that profess depth, especially when it translates into Oscar buzz. Not being especially enamored of the slice-of-life school of filmmaking Cuaron's efforts may be lost on me, but I suspect it has more to do with my appreciation of films that aren't totally open ended. Also, I like to be surprised in movies; in my opinion there were very few surprises plot-wise in CoM. It still merits high marks for those scenes which worked flawlessly well, for the superb acting and it's direction.
