I've seen it. Great acting, great directing... I love the black and white touch to the movie.

Yeah, me, too. It's so integrated into the movie that you forget about it, (kind of) after watching it. It just seems right that those parts are black and white. Though the ending was incredibly sad.

You most definitely do! The ending is what the movies all about. The culmination of Derek's life, and what happens to Danny.

I agree, Great Acting + Great Directing always equals a Great Movie.
