Tuesday with Morrie

This movie is a collaboration between Morrie and Mitch. They taped their visits
each time Mitch visited. They discussed the big questions of life ; what is love, living,
death, marriage, and relationship. Mitch rediscovered the relationship that had never
been broken. Morrie rediscovered his old friend. Also, Morrie was able to use this time
to do what he loved, teach. The last line of the book is the perfect epitaph "A teacher
until the end."

The movie hits the right note - not too depressing because it deals with death, yet not
irreverent or lighthearted to cover up death. Instead it is a wonderful chronicling of
friendship and life questions. It is a short movie, and worth it. Mitch is able to portray
Morrie so that the professor once again is alive.

The purpose of Morrie’s lessons are to teach Mitch that true happiness wont come from
success or money, but rather from appreciating the simple things in life and loving those
close to him. As Mitch watches Morrie wither away, he learns lessons in acceptance,
love, communication and openness.

I'd been putting off watching this because, as you know, there are too many movies
and too little time. I'm glad I finally made the time. This one will be worth a visit as well.
