Weekend movie

What starts off as a dark and sad story, turns into a really touching and inspiring one. the dialogues have been timed so perfectly and delivered so well that you want to watch some scenes again and again.
Though a few scenes like the one relating to the war could have been avoided/shortened, its a brilliantly made movie.
Cate Blanchett looks 'oh so wow', so does Brad Pitt in a few scenes.
One scene that I really liked is where Benjamin describes a series of events that all come together and result in an accident. Even if one of those events hadn't happened or had occurred a moment earlier/later the result would have been different. He starts off by saying "Sometimes we're on a collision course, and we just don't know it. Whether it's by accident or by design, there's not a thing we can do about it."

Other thought provoking quotes from the movie:
Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.

You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go.

It's never too late to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
