I saw the movie the same year as it was released. I was 16 and a dreamer. The title of the book is based on is "a dream".
This movie is like a dream. It is so fascinating, especially to a 16-year old boy who has just had his first experiences in the field.
The movie made such a deep impression on me. Mostly the sadness of the story that haunted me all my life and affected all my relationships; positively and negatively.
In a way it is just the feeling that love cannot be fulfilled that affected me most.
