I watched this movie many, many years ago when I was rather young...perhaps, early 20s. What I do remember vividly was how I felt at the end of the movie when I suddenly realized (I know that it says it in the title, right?) that this entire movie had been merely one day in the life of this man. It is an extremely powerful movie. Watching the movie was intense and, then, I kept thinking about it for days afterwards...imagine stringing all those single days together to make up one's life. What amazes me, too, which I did not even know then and, therefore, could not appreciate, was that the very great actor whom I have enjoyed for over four decades played Ivan Denisovich.
