This was an enormously comforting movie for me. My Mom died from Parkinsons Disease, which slowly took away everything that made her Mom long before she died. She passed in 2007 and I've repeatedly had nightmares about her loss and all my regrets. Seeing Dick Johnson Is Dead somehow filled that emptiness. I didn't have the imagination or talent to make such a film for Mom,. of course, but I could see her-parts of her-in Dick Johnson. i could imagine how she would have enjoyed taking part in making a documentary like this. It somehow allowed me to release my regrets. I called my Dad and we're going to watch it together with my sister. I think Dick Johnson-and his daughter-would approve.
