This is THE best, most logical and thought provoking version of this story I've ever seen, and I think I may have seen them all! I have never actually read the story in it's original text, but after seeing THIS movie, have vowed to do so!
Mind you this is NOT a kid's movie! It is for intelligent, open-minded adults who are not just looking for the "happily ever after" we see in so many (read ALL) the Christmas movies these days.
It's well done, with great acting, scenery and graphics.
