Very painful and difficult, yet such a loving and realistic portrayal. Often I wanted to turn away because I thought I was intruding on something much too intimate and personal.<br /><br />Still, when I described the movie to my partner, I did request/insist that she do the same for me. Probably much earlier. Like the title suggested, it is what love does.<br /><br />8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-59399806992972199032013-11-14T20:02:33.117-06:002013-11-14T20:02:33.117-06:00I've got another "Thanks and No Thanks&qu...I've got another "Thanks and No Thanks" movie for you (that I'd be especially interested in your take on): <b>"12 Years a Slave"</b> (filmed in your state.

I wouldn't have wanted to miss them, but once was enough. I have missed brilliant movies because I thought I could not bear to watch them. I can't name the films now, but if I looked at a list of the greats, I could point them out.

I'll add this to my list of things to see.<br /><br />I've another list, along similar lines to what you describe: "Fine Films Seen Once But That Was Enough." Spielberg ranks two on this list (Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List -- both brilliant but so emotionally moving I don't think I could bear to watch them again!). I wonder how many others have such a category? Tobias Stanislas Haller BSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047429477181560685noreply@blogger.com
