It saddens me that it was based in a real story. It was well done and well acted, irregardless of who played the parts. The ending, is not what everyone may expect, but then this is not a Hollywood ending. I don't think I'm giving anything away, as everyone else here seems to not understand what a "SPOILER" means....if you have not read anything before me....don't....Watch the movie and enjoy it.... It will make you happy, make you weep but most of all, for me, angry that such cultures and beliefs will go on and on.....I can't stand it nor ever understand them....it will never change, beliefs centuries old will always exist, it won't change in my lifetime!!! A good movie, still.
