one of the BEST movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2005)

I would like to comment on the Butterfly Effect. I have to say, I cried from the beginning to the end. I did not have a dry eye at anytime. I find the movie to be intense and therapeutic for victims of molestation. Victims have a way of putting trauma (of any kind) tucked away in a dark room and throw away the key....their lives are cursed and full of pain, unhappiness and struggles with relationships, career, family..etc. I have been struggling to write a book about my son, who was violently and brutally raped then left for dead at age 11with his best friend. He has struggled for 12 yrs now just to get up and live....he has attempted suicide...battled major depression which is related to the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is overlooked so often. My son was on a road to self destruction and could not figure out why...he had mentally forgotten the rape....after 12 yrs. and problems with the law he was put in the same cell with the guy who had taken his innocent soul..my son felt as if he was dreaming and felt as if he was having an out of body experience.....he attacked the predator..broke his jaw, knocked him unconscious....well..now he is able to face his demons and admit finally what has scarred him all these yrs.then even stranger..my son was locked up with the boy who was also raped by the predator and now have become friends again.this is only a small part of the healing process....I feel that this movie is fantastic and all victims should go see it, BUT must have therapy prearranged......Butterfly Effect is a 10 plus....Kevin Kinder is the sexual predator and is in prison for 60 yrs.... If you haven't seen the movie...go...go to the video store and rent it..you will not regret it, if you know a victim please tell them about the movie.....God Bless all and Oh my gosh....the writers....you are my hero....
