Old age and it's toll

I think the movie can be depressing depending on the individual. When I first saw it I loved it, it is without a doubt a wonderful movie I recommend. But the thing is, for instance, I've gone through some "not so unique" struggles in excepting my growing older. I've also had issues most of my life from not having a mom "and" dad, and when I did, their was brawls because of drinking too much. Some sexual abuse etc. None in the movie though, zero. The saddest part for me was how many years this gal (Jane/Chelsea) blamed things on her dad that had a personality that was on the hard side, but a huge heart, just didn't know how to be close with his daughter, no lack of love.

So different things like these could bring back memories, making us want to avoid those types of movies. With me, even jealousy because I didn't have a dad.

I think you will all get this, but mainly, how I am feeling about myself (happy content, not envious)) determines which movies to watch. Jim is right though, I do want to express my opinion on that. Even when that movie was made, I was saying "they can't make any decent movies" them, out came Golden Pond.

By the way, I loved seeing (and how it should be imo) how Ethyl/Katherine stood up for her husband when Chelsea badmouthed him. Parents should stick together imo, unless of course abuse is involved;)

hugs all, denise;)
 

I watched the movie because my wife insisted that we go see it when it was in the theaters. Personally, I could never stand Hanoi Jane. I saw her in "9-5", "The China Syndrome" and "Monster In Law." They were also good movies for their time, in spite of her. I went to see the "China Syndrome" only because it was supposed to be parallel to the Three-Mile Island event, which is just up the road from my house. Now, that was a scary time around here.
