Great movie!!!

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2003)

This movie was the best roller coaster ride of emotions I've been on in a while. How does the old saying go? "You'll laugh, you'll cry". Wonderful movie. Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ed Harris do an excellent job of playing real people. It's so nice that other people who aren't teachers can experience the same feelings I do as a special education teacher. It's the students like Radio that make me go to work everyday because of the high level of care that the mentally disabled show towards others. I'll admit, I could love this movie because I am a teacher, but this is just a wonderfully emotional movie that draws you in from the beginning. There were a few times that I wanted to jump into the movie screen and smack around the father/son duo because of their (typical American) reaction to the disabled. I'd pay the full price to see this movie again and I will definitely own it on DVD. The strange thing is, after I saw the movie, the real Radio was on ESPN2 because he was honored at the Clemson/Florida State game. Radio is a true inspiration for us all to find the good in other people and to care about others no matter how badly the treat us. BRAVO!!!!!
