| | One of my Top 10 All-time Favorites | OldFilmFan 01/28/2007 | | This film has some of the best character development in multiple characters I've ever seen in the movies. A story of moral courage, compassion, triumph over handicap, and hope for all who face the loss of a faculty -- this film is a must for young minds and old. Brilliant from start to finish. |
