Review of A Summer Story

I thought I was the only one who remembers A Summer Story. I cannot believe this movie is not more widely known. This should be regarded as a classic. I watched A Summer Story nearly a decade ago. I was barely in my teens then, just beginning to understand the mysteries of this world. This is one of the first movies that truly touched me. I didn't understand all of it but understood enough to lie awake the whole night crying into my pillow. The next morning my mom asked me if there was anything the matter with me because my eyes were all red and puffy from crying. I am glad to know that I am not the only one who cried after watching it. And the final scene! My heart aches even now when I think of it. If anyone doesn't cry after that final moment they must be made out of stone! True, my memory of A Summer Story maybe tinted with the rosy glow of yesterday but from what I remember every tear I shed for this movie was worth it.
