so the animated movie i have been dying to see, but could not because it was only a ny/la release, has finally come to philadelphia. well, it has come to one theatre in philadelphia. needless to say, the instant i found out, i was at the next showing. i recently read the graphic novel on which the movie is based, and even tho i have always preferred the book to the movie-based-on-a-book, this film actually blew its original out of the water. it's amazing to me how stunningly beautiful and powerful this film was, especially in its simplicity and monochromatic nature (yes, i got rather teary-eyed and choked up a couple of times). part of me was scared of seeing it and being disappointed because it had been so hyped up for me by all the rave reviews, and yet i absolutely loved it.
