There is no more fresh film on my netbook yet., so i tried to watch my old movie collection that i've never watched before and with many consideration, at the end i picked lives of others. i have to admit that i didn't know anything about this film previously.

Georges and Anne are a couple of retired music teachers. They are in their eighties. One day Anne suddenly has a stroke in. The couple's bond is severely tested.

This film broke my heart, for a moment after watched this movie, I felt the world is empty. This film made me depressed. I rather call Amour as a film than a movie, because I define a movie as an entertaining stuff, but a film will make you depressed.
If you are a popcorn movie lover, I will give this film rate 2 of 10 for you, because I dont get this film entertaining. I am sure that you will fall asleep in first 30 minutes of the duration and wake up when the film already finish. Why did I say that?
