Why Angie so great??

I, like the OP, also question that reasoning. I am twenty years older, but feel some of us remain innocent, childlike and uncorrupted by the world around us. The Grandfather was a good example of innocence, and I think this movie was made partially so we would have these conversations. (Which is cool in my book. Give me something to think about in an entertaining way and I get hooked).

So, if we accept that people of all ages can be innocent....which we really have to do, as true loss of innocence comes from the acts and atrocities you commit, not those commited against you....age, and ageism is now the only real defining factor.

That makes this movie both horrifying, as it is a reflection of how little we value and cherish adults, especially the elderly, compared to children... and provocative. Ageism (and all other forms of discrimination) are something I want to fight against BEFORE I experience them- Not after.

I think these are important things to think about and talk about. I don't like the way humans treat one another. The first step in bridging the gap is recognizing all the different ways we discriminate against and hurt one another and confront our personal prejudices.

This movie is appreciated by me, despite its a flaws, because it has given us the opportunity to do just that, right now. :)
