It was on again tonight. I just love this movie even tho it makes me sob. I allowed my daughter to watch a bit with me and she was riveted. She was absolutely flabbergasted that the movie was about a real person who really looked like that, and lived that life....she got so upset when he was treated unkindly.
We only watched a bit but I think it was a good thing. We talked for a while after about how people's appearances doesn't always tell the whole story, and how teasing and such can be so hurtful. She wanted to see the whole thing but I thought it was a bit much for a young one for now, but promised her we'd watch it all the way thru together someday.
I remember this movie affected me deeply when I first saw it as a ***.
Anyone else have a movie that changed them a bit, made them grow up a bit? And no Billy, "Porky's" doesn't count!
