Touches You

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Well, well, well! Goodness gracious! I think I watched this 12 or 13 years ago! Wow, it's funny that I should run across it now while searching Orson Scott Card's writing credits (he has one on this film).What can I say about this movie? I watched it forever ago. I don't remember what the movie was like. All I remember, though, was that I really liked it when I watched it because I liked feeling sad for the man who got hurt on the way to Jerusalem. Even back then as a six-year-old I liked the really sad films! Can I recommend this film to you? I have no idea. I seemed to like it as a kid, though I never watched it more than once and I didn't dwell on it. But I have no idea about its cinematic merits. Maybe your kids will like it, maybe they won't. To be honest, I'm writing this review merely because I love myself a trip down memory lane.
