Humanism As It Should Be
IN THE BEGINNING; This story line appears to be going in one direction--greed,ego,crass and crude behaviors of people capable of being better, only to have it pivot into one of the most endearing and thought provoking of morality plays---a study in how people can actually choose to change themselves into loving, caring, and healing individuals despite gut wrenching challenges. If you want to "feel good" on a substantive level, if the depth of human experience has meaning to you, please, do yourself a favor and buy this to watch it time and time again and to share it with friends and relatives. Yes, it is filled with pain, but the "happy ending" is well worth paying for the privilege of watching truly gifted actors creating a world in which we all live at one time or another.....and some of us actually learn and appreciate the lessons life teaches despite our desire to be self-important and self-centered. Perhaps there is hope for us yet. This film promotes it.
