REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 22-Jul-2005)

When this movie came out, I was 17. Later it became such a meaningful, poignant story for me. I had a star-crossed love also. It did not revolve around sex, but another set of circumstances that led to the loss of my (and my only true love's dreams.) I own the movie but can only occasionally watch it. My true love and I parted......both knowing that we would never love another person quite the same. That was more than 30 years ago, and this movie still brings it all back to me. In the words of Wordsworth, "Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower, we will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind," I find my strength to exist.
