My mom and I live next door to one another and try to watch a movie once a week together. She suggested Tuesdays With Morrie. I am so glad she did. This movie has a great deal to say, not just to the characters involved, but to all of us who think we are too busy to call a friend, write someone a note, stop and see a relative who might not be doing too well ~ you know, just taking the time to let someone know that we care. After all, what is really more important than sharing a minute (or two) of our time with someone who gave a lot more of theirs with us! Tuesdays With Morrie has a small but excellent cast of characters. Jack Lemmon is at height of his excellent and long career, as Morrie. Hank Azaria, as Mitch, an old student of Morrie's, is terrific. If someone can walk away from this film unaffected, I would suggest they make an appointment immediately to see a psychiatrist. ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) is only a part of the story ~ and in my view, not even the main part. The real story is about sharing ourselves with each other. Taking the time as often as possible to tell the people in our lives that they matter. We never know how much time we are going to have with anyone. When we become elderly that can be the loneliest time of our lives but it can also be the time we have the most to share. I looked at my mother throughout this movie and I could tell that she was relating to Morrie in so many ways with her own life. I thought, what have I given her? It doesn't seem enough. Morrie told me the answer to my question ~ just give her me!Read full review
I purchased this DVD after having rented it from my Netflix. It is a wonderful movie and very moving. Jack Lemmon and the whole cast are so very excellent in the roles they play that I felt very associated with their words. Being a senior citizen, now living with my older son and his wife, found that some of the subjects they touched on really hit home with me. Many tears were shed, but I still finished the movie feeling much better about my situation. I cannot recommend this movie enough and am considering buying it for my sister, and my other children. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my feelings.
The movie was awesome. The actors were very believable, which left us in tears. I had read the book and wanted to share the story with my husband. Not thinking I would be able to find it locally, I spent more than I would normally for a movie. Sometimes when you want something you are willing to spend a little extra, which was the case. Very happy that I did.
