An interesting (and well written) perspective, with which I have some significant disagreement. I saw the film during the original run in 1999, without knowing the twist, and was suitably dazzled. But I've found knowledge of this twist actually doesn't lessen additional viewings. Where I do agree with you is how emotional this film is, for reasons that have universal resonance.
Also, you got this out a day before my piece, dammit! ;) So here's my perspective in full, if you're interested. :)
