There was many a story in this complicated tale. But they are woven together to make a sincere story that is beautiful and believable. The cast lives up to their reputation and changes from their typical roles to characters that you identify with and hope for. It got a little odd with the whole incest/lesbian short snippet, but taken with a grain of salt, it's still great.

I want to experience Newfoundland as they showed it in the movie, including the seal knuckle pie. Although, I hope that no one would destroy my means of transport home as they destroyed the Chinese Junk. Also, someday I will have a picture of an oil tanker hanging in my home to commemorate this beauty.
