Interesting (Spoilers)
I really liked this movie.
I'm not sure why but as soon as her father showed up in the movie I had the feeling that he was only in her imagination. As the story progressed and no one else ever saw him it became more obvious.
It seemed, at times, that Evie acted very "simple" as if she had a mental problem herself, other than what seemed evident toward the end. I realize that she acted that way during her interviews to diminish her chances of being accepted to the various schools but at other times she acted rather childish, too. Perhaps she was just so naive it made her appear that way.
Well worth watching. A good story and interesting characters.
Emperor: Tell me how he died.
Captain Algren: I will tell you...how he lived.
