It really is an excellent film. Please give it a shot. I doubt very much that you'd be sorry you did. If not tonight, some other time.
"I must say that this is one of the best films I’ve seen in my life. It proves a great movie does not need to involve violence and sex... Plus, it makes you appreciate all the gifts you’ve got in your life. If Hollywood (and by these I mean the movie business) had more films like this one, it would have a nice positive impact on our poor and damaged society.
Maybe it doesn’t have outstanding special effects, or a main-role actor or actress who deserves an Academy Award, but the plot it’s so great, that makes you analyze your own situation and feel thankful for what you have and realize you’re missing a lot of nice simple great things of life... and it even makes you want to be a better person!"
I’ve seen this. It’s a very good film.
Halfway through it. So far so good. Very worthwhile.
The author, Jim Stovall, is blind, and tremendously inspirational. An Oral Roberts University graduate, a building is named after him for his million dollar donation (IIRC). He recently founded an entrepreneur center at the same university. He’s an amazing person who I’ve met a few times.
Thank you!

I liked most of the movie fine but...
START OF PLOT SPOILER (skip the rest of this post if you plan to watch the movie)
I’m not reconciled to the deaths of little children (or adults or even old persons). The ending depressed me. I don’t want to be taught lessons about life. I want to be distracted from its miseries.
So the protagonist and the young woman get together in the end, and he inherits two billion dollars. Whoppee-doo! Think of all the good he can do with it. Well, I for one don’t give a damn, not as long as there are little girls like Emily whose deaths can’t be prevented.
All that movie did is remind me of the inescapable tragedies of life. I prefer to learn the bad things about life from books, where the effects are less emotional. Otherwise I’d rather be distracted from them. From movies I want escapism — and happy endings, however unrealistic.
END OF PLOT SPOILER
good movie. watched more than once.
Sorry, I don’t go to Youtube. Post this on Rumble or bitchute and I will watch it there. Thanks.

Brian Dennehy was reportedly lying about having served in Vietnam. Not sure whatever became of that but it was going around maybe 15-20 years ago.
Agree we saw it after it came out and have the dvd. Have watched it many times since.
Lee Meriwether (Catwoman) was in the movie, too.
