This goes to show that I should have revisited this film with a fresh look before trying to write about it from memory.<br /><br />I share Andy's venom for infidelity in movies (and in real life). I remember when I was 16 years old, I stormed out of "Indecent Proposal" (1993) — one of only two movies I've ever left during a screening — because [spoiler alert] Demi Moore's character accepts said proposal that is indeed indecent.<br /><br />Finally, I thought Andy's examples of inspiring people were quite remarkable. Their feats were just as incredible — if not more so, in some cases — than Bauby's.<br /><br />JasonJason Pyles, Movie Critichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335353071850524427noreply@blogger.com
