Gentlemen, this is a beautiful film. Its purpose is not to entertain you, to please you, or to give you a new experience. You will look at those around you differently afterwards, the film awakens all that is human and multiplies it many times over, and it certainly does you good. A terrific thriller filled with satire and symbolism. I hadn't read King before, but will now read it on a mandatory basis.
Of course, having seen myself, many will choose to run away. Well, yes, of course: 'praise and entertain us, but don't you dare humiliate us! ' But if you still have the childlike spirits of your soul alive in you, if you believe in justice, if you won't let yourself be fooled, watch this terrific piece of work. I seldom rate it highly, but this film certainly deserves it.
