Are you experimenting with English or was there some point to all that? Do your parents know you are in here?

I wish to tread lightly upon my friends but love them deeply

In reply to what dslodynsky said "It's awful! blah. I totally don'r care for the kid. he hasn't got any other emotion except confused"

If you watch the special features they explain (though it should be apparrent)that he was raised in such a cruel world, that he is dead on the inside. He knows almost nothing of kindness and goodness, or of love and trust. He is confused by the people he meets who show him love and concern. As the movie progresses, you can see him thawing, slowly starting to let his guard down and trust people, love them.

I think he is an excellent actor for being able to act that dead, and can make his face portray how he is changing, w/out even needing to use words.

Best that dslodynsky waits patiently for 'Final Destination VII' et all. Some great movies are wasted on the individuals who view them.

Yes, no car chases, gun battles, or things blowing up--it must have been quite an ordeal for you to watch such a boring film.

Then don't watch it! I guess that I could be your ' grandma' because I loved it!

Okay, when you critisize something you should first know about it.

There were no oranges and there was no baby, the Denmark part you got right, but don't even know why he was going there.

Oh by the way, your generic food at the generic restaurant, at the generic mall you are at in the generic/suburb you live in is ready.

Is your grandpa supercool?

[–] Gail_Moyer3 17 years ago

I don't know what kind of cold, unemotional, unfeeling person you are! This movie was beautiful, touching, and life-changing.

It may not be action-packed, but it has a deep, meaningful message.

I don't fault you... I blame Hollywood for glammorizing things that are meaningless, making people cold to what is deep.

Oranges? Babies?

Tomatoes I get but ORANGES??

I felt that this movie was brilliant, but I'm probably your grandma.

Grandparents (and wouldn't Joan Plowright be a marvelous granny?) should instruct their progeny not to display ignorance in public.
