Dude, I own that movie. I LOVE it. To pieces. I found for 5.50 at Walmarts years ago and had to snatch it up. It's got "Rain" as one of the songs. And the girl is same one that was in "The Cutting Edge." It's probably one of the best movies, I think, of the 90s that wasn't an overt message, but one you just naturally picked up.

I so love that movie.

I so agree. I rather like that its a message that just grows and builds as the film progresses. Like you have to figure out as the film goes along, it's not just repeated over and over.

Precisely. Because it's a movie about progress, told through the most unlikely character but the best person to tell it. And watching the others change is just as important and special. The ending is almost heartbreaking because of what's missing.

I agree!

And I especially like the bit where You Know Who is told off for his views.

[roadtriphome]

YES! I was applauding after that scene. That's a clip that needs to be played over and over again - especially right now.

It would totally be useful for people to understand.
