Il coraggio di amare

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?

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 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.

I too was taken by the total love and commitment shown by Jesse and Patrick in this terrific film....We need many more films that emphasize this sort ot theme...I have personal family experience with schizophrenia....Bravo for everyone connected with making this film and I do study the credits, always Nick,Florida

I recently watched a Lifetime TV re-air of Dare to Love and was left with a great and hopeful feeling about love and life. It has very many similarities to Splendor in the Grass with Warren Beatty and Natalie Wood. I saw the latter movie actually after Dare to Love and immediately drew parallels between the two movies. What makes both these movies great is the connection between the main characters--the audience is always aware of the strong love that both Bisset & Gedrick's and Beatty & Wood's characters... in good times and bad. I highly suggest seeing both and compare for yourself as their endings ultimately diverge and differ in terms of audience reaction.
