Camille [Blu-ray]

Different & Quirky but amazingly heartwarming!
At the beginning of this movie, I didn't know what to expect, but by the ending I was fighting back the tears. I know, it's a crazy plot, and even quite silly, but I think a lot of people miss the pure intent of the film. It's not realistic, but hey, it's probably the most touching movie I've seen.

I thought the plot was emotional and actually made me stop to think how much I should appreciate those I love. Near the beginning of the film, Franco and Miller's characters get married, but the marriage seems destined to be an unhappy one. However, soon afterward, they get into an accident and Miller (Camille) dies. Well, kind of. Her ghost lingers on because she was not prepared to die. The rest of the film is about the couple finally learning to appreciate each other and find the happiness that had eluded them for so long. In a real...
