If this film is difficult to watch, that suggests that we need A WHOLE LOT MORE like it, so that it's not such a shock. It's really very weird that only young bodies should be considered ok to look at in public and on film, when every one of us gets an up-close view of our own, or our own and a partner's, body(s) aging. I'd very much like to see the filmi; hope it comes to London.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690685768980280402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965076219235086304.post-42855547439832833572010-06-17T15:28:13.439-07:002010-06-17T15:28:13.439-07:00:):)mandthttp://adgitadiaries.blog-city.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965076219235086304.post-68069558140496797502010-06-17T12:56:32.118-07:002010-06-17T12:56:32.118-07:00Nicely put, MandT, as always.

It depends very much on who they are and how they respond to the tragedies they endure. One thing I do know: it's good to act out of generosity and compassion. And it's good to allow people to make their own choices.

One is 88 years old with a 70 something girlfriend, he had lost his wife to horrible disease and eventual suicide, the other is a friend whose wife is now in a fulltime care facility. Do you think they would find the film a positive experience?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965076219235086304.post-69300792532556926912010-06-17T11:03:52.301-07:002010-06-17T11:03:52.301-07:00Good to hear from you, Michael!
