Philadelphia

Film about a guy who sues his firm for wrongful dismissal, due to having AIDS. A very emotional film, with lots to think about.

The Attitude

Ally takes a case where she needs to try and change a Rabbi's mind about a religious topic. She goes to talk to him in his temple, and is quite rude. The Rabbi does not take too kindly to this, and this is not good for Ally's client. Ally goes back to apologise, but ends up being rude again. In the end the Rabbi actually finds it funny, and finally decides that it is great. He later explains that most people don't speak their mind when talking to him since he's become a Rabbi - that it was refreshing to finally hear what someone really thinks. It got me thinking whether I don't speak my mind round certain people, and it's probably true. There are things left unsaid at times because of politeness. Is this good? or is honesty in all occasions best?

An American Tail

What a great movie. So many great songs! There Are No Cats in America... Somewhere Out There... and Never Say Never. What a great idea as well - to never say never. Is it always best to stay positive? In this film you can see how Fievel changes as soon as he meets some who have lost hope. His whole countenance and character change. Luckily for him his family was not far away. I love that this film is about family and about unity as a people also. What a great idea to have the mice get rid of the cats. At one point a mouse asks to the crowd of mice.. "are we mice or men?" to which they all shout "MICE!". Fantastic!
