Don't be afraid to watch it

Warning: Spoilers
People have done some terrible comments saying that it's one of the worst films they've ever seen and even telling other people not to waste their time watching it. I guess they didn't get the spirit of the film. It's NOT supposed to have a moral ending like most hollywoodian movies have. It just enters the lives of some people and how they connect at some point. The phrase in the ending reveals a lot about the meaning of the movie. It tells that there are some days that everything happens... changes are needed after some drastic events, dreams are crushed, etc. Despite that, life goes on. The world continues its existence no matter what have just happened to you and to those around you. I especially admired how the life of the butcher's wife changed after that day. From a super-religious woman, a very "correct" person, she changed to a sex maniac, thus exposing the true nature of her mind. There are some really interesting characters in this movie, with the priest being my favorite. I think his wisdom is just astonishing. Kinda anti-religious as someone commented here. Many movies have religious propaganda and you don't see anyone complaining about it. So, It's NOT a waste of time IF you watch without expectations, just "drink" the film the way it is and you'll like it.
