    I've been looking forward to watching this movie for a long time, mainly because, well, I just can't imagine ...
    When I decided to obtain the movie, in large part because it was on stupendous sale, I'd read no reviews, nothing about it's reception, and, despite the fact that I now know it was universally lauded, didn't know anyone who'd seen it and can't remember ever noticing it in theatre line-ups locally.

Once I knew this, I was even more eager to watch the film, perhaps, even, read the book.
