This film really hit me...

I lost my wife a number of years ago when we were young. Not a suicide, an illness.

For some reason, this film struck a chord with me that had me bawling like a child at the end when Hoffmans character reads the letter and walks out into the street.

I had my "issues" also...I wasnt HUFFING , drugs or booze, but I ended up taking a year off of LIFE in general and just let the world float away for a while until I pulled my head out of my ass.

Somehow I felt I could really relate to this character. This movie would have been utter *beep* without Hoffman in it. Only HE could have pulled this off.

I doubt PS Hoffman reads these nonsense boards, but if he is...THANK YOU. I needed this.
