Franklin> And here I thought only JOHN was sick...lol I myself, put off seeing it for months. It didn't strike me as a TOPIC of real interest, even though the reviews simply glowwwwed about it. Finally went to see it in a $1.50 theater (I noticed that it had played there for several months - generally a sign that a movie is attracting so much "word of mouth" that it has "legs" - a good sign of a potentially worthwhile to excellent movie.
Went with a woman friend who just HAD to get out, so thought it would be a good gamble. For me, it paid off. I'd love to see it again on the big screen - there were so many verbal, psychological nuances, I know I missed certain points. Not really too sure how it would play on VCR - unless of course you have one of those Home Theaters - you know 43" screen or larger...
As far as the critique - to each his own. Hope John's recovery is continuing on a positive, speedy basis. Give him my best.
