I saw this movie yesterday and I was simply overwelmed with the intensity of the way it was presented. I am still not sure how I feel about the movie...It was an inlightening and revealing look at human nature and socialtal callousness as well as many other issues surrounding life, relationships, and friendships that we embrace (or should embrace). I am still in a daze. That is a good thing for me because it is an internal daze that I need to sort out. Thank you "Mr. Ayers"...

PS
Go see this movie now!...When it comes out on DVD, get it for your library!!!!

If you've seen it...tell me what your thoughts are...

"LIFE HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN"...and that's true too! Deep! Makes me think about "time and unforeseen occurrences befall them all."

I love that you took out some time from your busy schedule to gift us with this L. I really really love the way you present things. I really do.

My Solebaby said just what I was thinking...Jamie is probably on his way to another award. I just can't stop laffin thinking about his Ugly Woman portrayal...so crazy!!! I'm going back to look at David Alan Grier..the video I put up...so I can laugh..."Uhhhhh Huuuuuuh" ROFL

Just finished with the 60 Min piece. I'm already inner-stunned. I see exactly what you mean L.

Umph umph umph. I'm a dreamer as you may know. I always want to change the endings to "happily ever after", and I can tell my only recourse in this is to cling to the Kingdom Hope. That's the only thing that will keep me from a sure implosion of sadness over this type of present reality.

Thanks Again..this is thought provoking.

Thanks guys for the comments. Sole I was very amazed to see real skid row people used in the making of the film. I also noticed how much the American Flag was used as a background element in a lot of the scenes. It was as if this were not obviously a comentary on homelessness and our calousness toward oneanother as Americans...as human beings here in "America"...One scene stuck out in my mind when Jamie was in "White Face" wearin' the top hat...Looked almost patriotic...powerfull statement and condemnation of life for some in "America"...anyway...I may have taken more from this movie than I should have...or maybe I didn't take enough...

I saw A Beautiful Mind and cried like a baby watching the shock treatment scenes.

I'm intrigued...indeed.
