I checked it out and saw that the movie had indeed been on French screens but it must have been for the shortest time, because I didn't even notice it, and I do go to the movies a lot and check out the movie programmes every week. <BR/>I will try to rent the dvd, as it doesn't seem they are showing it in France at the moment.<BR/><BR/>As for blogger.com, they make me Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-69737147773469991942007-12-03T00:44:00.000-08:002007-12-03T00:44:00.000-08:00matty & pattie: You and others here have raised a...matty & pattie: You and others here have raised an interesting thought about how we react to the stories of individuals coping with challenging medical issues.

I too hesitate to see a movie from a book but do want to see this film. <BR/><BR/>My husband had 2 strokes before the one that killed him, he had cognitive and speech disabilities - I know firsthand how the system works to "rehabilitate" those who need speech and other such therapies. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post.Suzannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324352371488938537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-77348690164256194922007-12-02T12:30:00.000-08:002007-12-02T12:30:00.000-08:00(I think I am headed back to Haloscan as well).HAv...(I think I am headed back to Haloscan as well).<BR/><BR/>HAven't read the book or seen the movie, but might.

It proves what I believe, that you really do need to live each day to the limit, for as easily as bad things can happen to us, good things can happen too. And that there is always hope.
