A morality tale about the inescapable role of our personal choices in the kind of life we live, the plot was complex and the story was fun. The special effects were magnificent and central to the story, not just placed there to show the designers' virtuosity. The costumes, the cast of characters were well chosen... the way the untimely death of Heath Ledger was handled was brilliant and well suited to the story line.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wonderfully funny, it portrayed the 60's exactly as the "drop out, turn on, love-in" madcap, zany decade the decade advertised itself to be. So I felt the sweet pathos when The Count said, "These are the best years of our lives."
And of course next came Viet Nam, the Civil Rights movement, the Womens' Movement, Herpes Virus, serious drug problems...
It was even more fun because of Branagh's Hitler-look-alike role portrayal as the repressive government hack. Emma Thompson played the narcissistic Mom perfectly.
The Brits really know how to make comedy.
Loved the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
