I have to say my first draw to this movie was Robert Pattinson, that out of the way, it was phenomenal! He proves himself to be an actor, a real actor. This movie was 10 times better than anything he did in Twilight. To me it was about Tyler's struggle with depression and family tradgidy as well as Allie's father's struggle with his own depression. You can not go through what these characters went through and be un touched. It was real, raw emotion, and I can relate to that. I could feel Tyler's fustration with is dad and felt heartbroken when he finaly realized the depth of his Dad's feeling as his world was about to end. This movie will not leave me for a long time. Up there with "ordinary People" and "Terms of Enderment".
