Prima del tramonto

Fred Savage puts across a brilliant performance in the heart-warming film, showing that there is more to him than 'The Wonder Years'. I was surprised that this film was only made TV because it is a lot better than a lot of the things that get released at the cinema. I suggest you look out for it in the future on Channel 4 or Film Four in the U.K. because it is definitely worth watching.

My husband used to work with Wade. He knew or still knows some of the individuals that are in this movie as they are in real life. It's a mostly true portrayal of actual events. They did actually go to the concert that was portrayed in the movie and many others in the long run. If some think that it's a bad remake of "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, I wish just for one day they could live Mike's life. You'd no longer criticize this movie. For those of you that can't forget the movie, I'm glad that it's made that type of an impact and I hope when you see someone like Mike you offer assistance.

I also encourage people to get involved as there are still people living like Mike was. Our government has laws in place that keep people trapped in nursing homes instead of being able to be productive members of society. Just because a person's body doesn't work like most doesn't mean they don't have a mind. Check out www . adapt . com for more information on the true lives of these individuals.

Watched the film for the first time 3 days ago. I was so glued to the TV as the performance/story line/emotion had me glued. Amazing acting around such a dramatic heart wrenching story. Many aspects that were covered such as disability, care quality within the health care system, and the strength/determination of the disabled child living in a world which included those who did not care.

The phrase he wrote about remembering him made me cry a little because it was so beautiful. I hope the film has woken many people up with regard to the plight of the disabled. Well done to all who made this beautiful thought provoking film. I applaud you.

I have Muscular Dystrophy and my mother was told to put me in a nursing home and Thank God she didn't. But the face is that they did do that to a lot of disabled people back then. This movie was wonderful and touching and Fred Savage played the role well. Is there any way at all to track down a copy of this movie?

Although not the best film ever made, Fred Savage's portrayal as a kid with muscular dystrophy alone is reason to watch this film.

It is very much like One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, with the same forceful style nurse, and one patient (Mike Mills) who knows the real medicine the patients need. A great film
