Il coraggio di amare

I agree with NUHR whose summary was "Inspirational". It was a truly touching movie. I saw it in 1995, and always remembered it. Recently, I just taped over one of the VHS tapes belonging to my new husband (!), and found the end of this movie on it. I watched the rest, and was so happy to have found it again. It is a moving, real-life story of true, true love. I highly recommend it.

This movie was sensational. I would love to have it on tape or to see it every week when I hit a low spot. This movie gives you a giddy feeling about falling in love and having someone there no matter what. How hard is that to find these days? If anyone has this recorded or knows how I can purchase it, please let me know. Thank you!

This is a good TV movie treatment of schizophrenia. A pretty young school teacher goes from sane to full blown mentally ill. The highs and lows hearing voices and extreme behaviour are shown. Josie Bissett is beautiful and acts well. It would have been easy to overact but she keeps it sympathetic. Her boyfriend who tries to help is played by Jason Gedrick. Her mother who has to deal with her own mothers mental illness is played by Jill Eikenberry. Worth a watch.

I am a mental health professional and after watching Dare to Love on January 6th 2000, I was overwhelmed with emotion.People who are not educated on mental illness can't imagine what family and friends go through when dealing with a mentally ill person. Hats off to Lifetime TV for giving those who don't understand this disease a chance to understand that medication management and support from loved ones, patients can again become productive in the community and improve their quality of life. I am interested in getting a copy of this movie or any information as to when it might be viewed in the future. THANKS BARBARA

I loved this movie and have been looking for a copy since I saw it. Jason Gedrick and Josie Bisset were both awesome in this. Jason as the boyfriend was so well done in the emotions he had to go through in having this girl in his life. Josie Bisset was spectacular as the girl who had the illness. The movie based on the life of a real person really moved me. There is much to learn about people who suffer with this illness. And I would recommend anyone to see this. Especially people who have someone in their lives like this. The people who have this illness and the family and friends would all benefit from this movie. Will it be playing on t.v. again? Or does anyone know where I can get a copy?
