Last night it was Fried Green Tomatoes. FGT, as we like to call it, was one of my favorite chick flicks growing up and I wanted to see what Sean's reaction would be to a movie about 4 southern ladies and their journey thru struggles and triumphs...here is his response:
It turns out the movie is better than the food. I mean that. Have you ever had Fried Green Tomatoes? Disgusting!
Here's what I learned... The elderly lady at the end summed it up -- "The most important thing in life is friends." I'd broaden that and say the most important thing in life is relationships.. with God, with friends, with family...
Also.. in the movie, Kathy Bates chooses to invest in this nursing home resident and it changes her life. How many opportunites have I been presented with in my life to invest in someone.. and I've failed to do it? There are opportunities/people around us every day... people who may enrich our lives or whose lives we may enrich. I actually felt challenged after watching this chick flick.
Movie Rating? Another Solid B
Kleenex Rating? Sean did not cry in this movie...very shocked by that - I cried several times...but I have cried at Mighty Ducks before so my opinion should not be weighted that heavily. :)
