I think your life would make an extraordinary life, Val, and it would make a great movie! However, more important than a movie is that you did what you had to do to find your happiness here, and, selfishly on my part, that our lives are better for knowing you!
When I watched that movie, I also found it hollow but didn't think much on it. Thanks for your review, and for pointing out that life is to be lived!! You rock!!
