In other words if you allow a child to behave according to his/her nature then the child can't be cured of it later.<BR/><BR/>That certainly bears out experience more than the the wichful thinking that a child will stick to the Christian upbringing provided.Terry Hamblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346629921055055879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-1146320717995347652006-04-29T07:25:00.000-07:002006-04-29T07:25:00.000-07:00interesting review...thanks for sharing.I wonder h...interesting review...thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>I wonder how well the starbucks heavy marketing will pay off.<BR/><BR/>--RC of strangeculture.blogspot.comRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340006144797496514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-1146279858142946362006-04-28T20:04:00.000-07:002006-04-28T20:04:00.000-07:00You are so right Jonathan-- we all stand on the sh...You are so right Jonathan-- we all stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us, and who have stood along side us and have helped us up and onwards.... <BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/><BR/>BenBen Witheringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017701050859255865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-1146277240480867382006-04-28T19:20:00.000-07:002006-04-28T19:20:00.000-07:00Yes, I agree, it was a wonderful movie.

I don't want to give away too much plot, but I especially like the way that the movie visually communicated the idea that Akeelah is not a self-made person, but is only who she is because of the help of others. Against the Enlightenment myth of the autonomous individual, this movie in some ways reminds me of how the church is supposed to be - making people much more than who they could be if left to their own devices.Jonathan Marlowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06204365581553282434noreply@blogger.com
