I just found the original post that somehow vanished. Now,before you just think that I'm an old fogey trying to use a computer. I am quite profecient and worked for IBM as a hadware tech, Micosoft as a Windows Technical Lead, At Hostpro, as a technical service agent doing virtual hosting, and then for years as an MCT. But, My PC just does strange things with my text sometimes. I tried to rewite my thoughts and so now you can compare and see how I did.
(the followin is my attempt to recreate a long post that was lost)
You got to be kidding me? This was billiant, maybe, too brilliant! perhaps I will dumb it down and not talk about that awesome actor who "suffered for his art" and was a real martyr. Really, he would've gptten that year's "best actor" award if he had really been acting in that Heartattack scene. I know, what are the chances! Could be that he was a method actor trying to feel the effects of too much cholestorol firsthand. dunno.
I'll just copy messages that I sent to Hannah, instead of retyping all my rants about the fantastic film "Rory O'Shea Was Here." I actually did cry during the scene where the guy with Cerebal palsy told the guy dying with Muscular Dystrophy that "Rory O'shea Was Here". His words weren't as clear but his meaning was loud and clearly gestured!
Ok Here's What I said about it to her:

I am so throughly disgusted! I just did something I want to share but it was wrong. I watched a rated R movie that was so good. "Rory O'Shea was here." A real tear jerker. I cannot even mention to my parents that I saw it, but holywood had to go and destroy it with filthy language, without which it would've and should've been a great movie. I only guess why they do that is to teach otherwise ignorant fools precious truths in their own vernacular. Really, I couldn't even let my kids or husband see it because of the swearing, really the subject didn't need it, but they tried to make a point in one place where Rory waas dictating a letter and the one trying to write it down suggested that he might need to rethink that particular wording, and replied that it was needed to provide the needed punch. I always think of that sort of language is for shock value or needed attention. I think the witers through that charactyer told how they were aware of the language used, and it's inappropriateness and used it anyway! I'm just upset. I want you to see it, but cannot encourage it because of the rating and the rating is due to the language.

Nick just asked me a question and I let him have it. I compared my recent film with Persuit of happiness and explained that throughout history, truly courageous individuals did things that seemed illogical and crazy to others. Most times, the people themselves wouldn't even reason it out, like Nephi killing a man for the good of others. Nick did say that war is a totally different story. I do not think it is. I used Captain Moroni as that example, anyway after I finished saying my part about people needing divine intervention or they would not be able to do such things. I looked at him and said, "Now do you see why I like to talk to Hannah? She asks things and I tell her what I'm thinking and she replies!" He thought for a minute then said, "Oh, you communicate?" bingo!
I had been thinking very hard about Rory O'Shea and how he left his nice comfortable residence with nurses, to take care of himself. I really thought the moral of the story would be that they realized that independance isn't for everyone, but instead they showed that it was worth their life, and all the comforts possible. It taught me a whole lot more, but I bet it was very hard to leave loved ones and care givers behind. I also loved another point where their nurse explains that she is sorry that she does not love them back the way they would like, but you cannot control who you love. hmmmm.. Then, this is a key point, she explained wisely, that what he felt for her wasn't that kind of love either it was gratitude. I wonder how much clearly we could understand things like love if our language was improved. Too much heartache is caused by miscommunication!
