FOr those who have never seen this movie, I want to say that this movie changed my life. I was trying to figure out if I should go back to college or not. I was married, had 3 kids and was 30+ years old. After watching this movie, I realized that I would turn 40 anyway, which is a comment Mary's mother makes to her when she says she is "too old" to go back to college after her stroke. Her mother replies, "I thought I was too old to consider becoming a doctor. You know what? I turned 40 anyway." So there are deeper messages in this movie if you CHOOSE to look for them. I teach High School theology and wish I had a copy of this to show my students! But it is up to the VIEWER to find the messages here and there are many. By the way, I not only got my Bachelor's degree in MUSIC, which is difficult enough, I also earned my MASTER'S in Theology. ANd I'll turn 50 this year. SO I could have been 50 with a nowhere job, or 50 with a Master's looking to earn a Phd. all because of some "lousy" movie as you call it. Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it - no matter what obstacles try to get in your way!
Review of Love, Mary
