Le passé évanoui

I stumbled across this on LIFETIME NETWORK, and after watching it realized, "thank goodness for movies like this to put men in their wretched places!" A real-life story, Lindsay Wagner comes out of a coma, can't remember her husband or her children (and gets all unhinged when her husband is actually upset that he's been forgotten...), leaves her kids with her husband, moves into an apartment and has a fling with a yacht-sailing lech who's obviously taking advantage of her predictament by whispering how "lucky" she is that she can "start life over" without kids or a hubby.

Huh? Why don't they re-name this MEN ARE VOMIT--it would be more up to the movie's intent. Feminists should have a ball with this one--each and every male has serious flaws that only sweet, saintlike Lindsay can solve, from her husband to her would be lover to her son...while the women virtually wear halos. Totally useless film... and it is "based on real life"! If this is "reality", the woman Lindsay plays must be healing lepers by now.

I thought this was a good film with an interesting story behind it. I found Armand Assante to be completely believable as the distraught husband who just simply wants the life he had before his wife's amnesia. You can sympathize with all characters and see everyone's point of view. I don't think the title of the movie does this justice however.

~~~~~~~ Your Priorities change BECAUSE You find Out What's Important in the Big Picture. It doesn't matter if this Movie Character's New Priorities Agree with Yours... It's ultimately "Individual Settings" and Mental Health, Emotional & Physical Health. ~~~~~~~~~~ It's fine to not like the movie, Individual choice, BUT TO SAY IT's UNREALISTIC is just not fair nor understanding of the trauma based story. AND LINDSAY DID A FINE JOB as USUAL !!!
