Un jour, une vie

I really enjoyed this movie. I felt the best part of it was Marilyn Hassett's performance as Jill, and the supporting cast was very good. Based on a real life story, it was well-acted and well-scripted. The theme song sung by Olivia Newton-John is excellent, too.

I became a paraplegic at the age of 23 on May 10th. 1979. When I came home from the rehab center the movie The Other Side of the Mountain came on. I had no idea what the movie was about. My girlfriend and I watched and cried through the whole movie. I could not believe how close it hit home and what my family and friends were going through. It is and always will be one of my favorite movies. I taped both one and two, but through out the years the tape is hard to watch and would love to get a new version of the movie. I wrote a book ( Rolling through Life )about my life after 30 years as a paraplegic, married for 25 and two beautiful children latter, life is good :) Sincerely. Lorraine "Scott" Bain

Even though about three quarters of the way through, this movie begins to run out of steam it still is an exceptional film. The ski equipment and clothing were dead on for the time period and adds much to the picture. Even though it was partly about skiing a person watching this doesn't have to be a skier or have ever skied to enjoy it. Superior to the sequel. A must see as far as human interest movies go.

I am a 56 year old woman who has survived many tragedies. We all have a story and it is either a springboard or a crutch. My freshman year of college I got Bell's palsy leaving 1/2 of my face disfigured for life permanently. Ten years later at the onset of labor the other side of my face "fell." I have a very rare case of permanent bilateral Bell's palsy and will never smile again. I was married 20 years and reared 3 children but I live daily with a face lacking any emotion. Trapped inside. I have grown to live a full life and although I can't smile or laugh with joy I am happy and blessed. I watched this movie back at the beginning of the BP. If she could survive and recover who was I to throw in the towel. This movie is moving, inspirational and literally saved me. I share it with others who find themselves in despair. We all have challenges and life isn't easy but you can only control how you react. Thank you Jill for sharing your story. I owe you my life.
