Memory

Rating: 9/10 (6 March 2006)

I can't add any more to the superlatives already voiced on this movie. Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Hilary Swank. How much better does it get? What really caught me off guard was the expression placed on her robe . It has been many years since I have heard this but as a youngster I was quite familiar with it. After supper in our home we, the children, would have to do our homework right away. In the background my Mom would be on the piano and my Dad singing all sorts of tunes. It was their "thing" at the time since money was scarce and it was their relaxation and entertainment. One song was brought back the instant I heard this term mentioned in the movie and I almost "shot right out of my seat with the wonderful flashback it gave me. My Dad always sang a tune called,"-- -------,Mo Chuisle, Mo Chree".It speaks to me of family in a personal sense and movie-making a la Eastwood speaks of "family" in so many ways as well.What a bonus! Cheers! Ron.
