This is likely my favorite film of all time. The storytelling is top notch...unquestionably King's best adaptation to date...and I wouldn't think it will be topped anytime real soon.
The seemingly slow pace, yet continously moving forward story is one of its greatest assets. When one can be so enveloped in the story alone....that is the testament of a great film. Aided by feeling performances and a scene I can't help but receive chills on every time I witness it(that last scene on the beach)...this is one to behold. There is something about the lack of emphasis on the characters' respective race that is incredibly honest and not self serving, that I can really relate to and appreciate. The focus is on their friendship and the bond that they have formed through their respective pursuits. I love this film and wouldn't it be great to see a Special Edition on DVD!!!
