I cried... I cried... I cried. And before I knew it, my shirt was half wet. It was the incredible effect of this truly magnificent television film very recently released in the US. I have not read the book and I don't know whether the book would land my hands and I say, it's a pity because there's this one scene that bothered me quite a lot which I would consider the only flaw in the film. If I were the editor, I would just thrash it because to me, it's a minus factor not on the film but to homosexuality as a whole. Maybe I have misjudged it but I felt exactly the same after watching it the second time.
I have read some comments from those who have viewed it and I can't understand how they can say that some scenes were cut that they seem not to be connected.... and so forth. Lucky me, I didn't feel the way they did for it was well-scripted and directed and brilliantly acted by Ms Weaver and Mr Kelly... except for that one flaw. And I am not revealing it because it's simply a product of my far out respect for humanity... for the homosexuals to be more specific.
My final judgement: This inspirational gem is extremely good that it should be watched by every single member of the society. Every household should own one so purchase your DVD copy once they become available in stores!
OMG... I am going to watch it again!
