Hey Amie, how was this film. I've been thinking of adding it to my Nexflix queue...

I wasn't too crazy about the movie, although I do see why Rachel Weisz got an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. I don't know how else to describe it, except she was like a brightly burning candle... one just knew she was either going to burn out or be snuffed out. She lit up the screen with her passion. As for the movie, if you like anti-corporation, anti-capitalist propoganda, it's ok. The scenes of poverty in Africa, however, are very poignant. If you concentrate on the subtleties of the love story... how he re-discovers the woman she was, and how he realizes something tragic about himself and their marriage, then you'll discover that it could only have ended the way it did. Hope I didn't give too many spoilers... but the body count itself is a spoiler.
