Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2004)

I watched this movie for the fifth time last night. There is something about it that I connect with. I really like this movie and highly recommend it. Here are some of the reasons: I have three daughters. In the movie, William Parrish (Hopkins) simply adores his daughters. He gives them wonderful advice that is worthy of quoting. (I have). He is extremely successful it motivates me every time I see the movie. There is an incredible mystery about death that is intriguing. Nobody really knows what is on the other side of that threshold. The movie makes one examine his mortality. It gives meaning to family, character and relationships. The music is incredible. I have the soundtrack and it is a must have. On a lighter note, there are several plots that keep things interesting. Watch the movie and look for the pearls. They are there if you can find them. You never know, lightning could strike.
