Thank you

Thank you
I don't remember who but there are people on this board who mentioned the movie Antwone Fisher. One of them has a quote the other I believe mentioned it as a good movie to watch. I just watched the movie when I saw it was going to be on IFC, I related so much to some of the scenes. Knowing that its based on a true story, I figure if he can go on his first date at 25, so can I (go on my first date in my later years). That is something I have feared for awhile, how I would never be able to have a relationship because I would be too akward and no girl would ever understand.

Anyway, thank you to those who mentioned it and I would recommend watching it to those who haven't.

Does anyone know if it came out in theaters? It being on IFC (Independant Film Channel) makes me think not.
 
Jtt,

I guess we all talked about this movie, it was a big hit on the screens, maybe for all the wrong reasons.

The movie moved because he did the actual screenplay, and also a true story is something which we can relate to, rather than the dumb movies that try to sway, like the butterfly effect etc.

Read this.

It took him a long time to find funding, as he was laughted at by media companies. Denzel Washington took him on board and did a lead part in it.

It is so nice to watch a movie that is "true", you can read about it here.

And yes, who will cry for the little boy lost and all alone? I will, I did, and it still makes me cry,

I think it is a great victory of a human being, when he doesn't allow his past to make him bitter or resentful, rather he retains his humanity with full passion. It is the mark of a great life, that shine thru our grace, and the wisdom, we received in the process of living, is something we need to thank our past for, endlessly.
 
The sad thing about this movie, was that it was toned down for audience attraction, on Denzels' direction.

There was a Hell of a lot more abuse he faced that may make a sequel.

Who knows,

JTT,

Personally, I think a sensitive and caring woman would be pleased to go out with a guy who isn't viewing her primarily as a sex opportunity.

You said this:

That is something I have feared for awhile, how I would never be able to have a relationship because I would be too akward and no girl would ever understand.
I can well imagine you will feel embarrassed and uncomfortable at first, but that feeling will pass. As for the girl, why would she not understand? It sounds like perhaps you are running yourself down and what you mean is that a woman would not understand YOU. But you are as worthy of compassion and understanding as anyone else bro.

Much love,
Larry
