To be sure the ending is beautifully pathetic, and tear inducing (at least I cried.) And throughout their are funny and memorable moments, along with shots that are very prettily framed. But to be honest their are also boring moments, and scenes that aren't all that funny. (Which makes me wonder at the lavish praise some have heaped upon the film.) Overall, it's a good movie and in a sense a classic. But it is, in my opinion, a flawed classic.
