Oh. Oh.
That was beautiful. Sweet and lovely and all the gorgeous clockwork, and the whole atmosphere of it, just... so much love.
And I adore the way that it took the analogy of the world as a giant machine, and each of us just a part in it, and through the whole feel of the movie successfully turned it from something cold and impersonal and presenting individuals as insignificant into something beautiful and creative and meaningful.
This movie is my happy place. I am going to be watching it so many times.
Now I wish that I'd seen it in theaters. We'd talked about it... but never got to it. ;_;

(C'mon: tell me you can't see a young!Neal being the kid slipping into the secret passages in the walls of the old train station, using stealth, speed, and agility to keep one step ahead of the law?)
