Gah! The lil'woman 'made' me watch this with her last night... I should have declined! I can't believe anyone would enjoy this movie!

Don't get me wrong, it was interesting.... but don't expect any kind of a happy ending. Suffer, Suffer, Suffer!

So there I am, fighting back tears for almost 2 hours... and it finally ends. Why!? Did you enjoy that movie!? How?! Why!?!? If I ever watch a 'chick flick' again, you better believe it's going to be romantic comedy... and not this tragic crap.

I just don't get why someone would write a story like that, or why someone would enjoy a movie like that.... I'm still all emotionally whacked from it.......

What's wrong with being emotionally whacked from time to time? Happy endings are highly overrated. Tragedies are something you can really sink your teeth into.

I thought the movie was briliantly written and acted, and I applaud it for going against all conventions of the typical Hollywood-contrived good vs. evil conflict. The beauty of this movie is that all of these people are real, no one is cast as the villain. Both of them have a claim to the house, and both of them need it. The tragedy that happens in the movie, happens because of one character who is much weaker morally than all the rest.

It's probably not a movie I would want to see more than once, but to me it was very moving and powerful.

I wasted two and a half hours of my life, and I want them back, postage paid. This is a BAD movie, and irresponsibly rated in Austrlia (MA15+, or restricted to person 15 or over[unless accompanied by a parent and/or guardian]). Pfft.

You probably also cannot watch those Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints commercials without grabbing for some Kleenex. 🙂

They make me teary-eyed as well.

Talk about tear jerker movies... I simply cannot watch "RUDY" (starring Sean Astin and Jon Favreau) without crying.... EVERY TIME!

Its one of my favorite movies and it just really gets to me!

I forgot to mention "A League Of Their Own". At the end of the movie, when Madonna's "This Used To Be My Playground" starts playing, I invariably lose it. I am very nostalgic, so seeing the pictures of the girls during their prime, intercut with action footage of the older women playing ball in the present really connects with me.

Well! Repent! Join the mormons. Then you won't have to be so conflicted!
