    not often do I get a glimpse of my own life in a doc
    this movie left me crying. It bares a lot of similarities with my life. I wrote the letter to my father when I was 21. I imagine a lot of people with an extreme type A, workaholic dad should be able to identify with the story here... and then some. it's about feelings. it's about who you are. it's about a father and a child. it's about not being afraid to try different things. it's about being true to yourself, even if you're a late bloomer. The Ed Norton bit, makes me wonder about the relations Ed had with his father. I have a hunch he can also identify with what's being told here. after all he's the producer of the movie.
