This postcard pseudo philosophic crap must be the laziest, most pompous, superficious garbage I have ever seen.

The beauty is not in the death.
The beauty is collateral, it is the other stuff that you do not notice while you are fixating on the death.

The OP is too dense to get it. Actually, Madelyn addressed that issue with Howard. Howard wanted to "fix" himself. To paraphrase. You can't "fix" losing a child.

The main problem With this film is exactly what you are paraphrasing. It presumes it has the ANSWERS to such a topic. It is preachy, condecending and pseudo philosophical.

I am not suprised people who enjoyed this film goes online and Call People "dense" and other insults.

The original poster certainly had a bait and switch there with her/his thread title.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Other than being the most cruel people i've seen in a film in quite a while the film has no idea what grief is and gives you some phony, condescending message that seeing the beauty in everything else will make that pain bearable. No way

Trying to create a channel based on interpreting, reviewing, and even giving you something to laugh about film. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance.
