This show is awesome. It’s so wholesome and really shows how hard it is to find love for those on the spectrum just as well as those who are not on it. I tell you this, Michael makes every man on the planet look like a fool (my own husband included in that) because the things he said about love and his future wife make my heart swell!! Just such a pure heart!! I told my husband that he makes him and most men look like lazy chumps and my hubby agreed and chuckled. Everyone deserves to find love and happiness with a partner and those on the spectrum are no different. It really brings to light the struggles they go through to find love. It’s heartbreaking sometimes to see them struggle and then other times you find yourself rooting for them when a break-thru happens (ie social key they picked up on, a good date, when they smile from ear to ear after hearing good things about themselves etc etc) to the point you’re completely invested in them from beginning to end. I found myself screaming Michael you’re an amazing man and you’ll find the right wife and she will be happy to know that being her husband was the Prize of your life. Hell any women would love to have their spouse think and say that!! Then found myself saying someone please go give Mark his first kiss!!! Make it special for him!! I won’t give away anymore of the people or situations but everyone should watch this not only for the knowledge on/of the spectrum Challenges but just because it’s wholesome, truly enlightening and all around interesting to watch.

I had a hard time at first being okay with him getting lucky and being released. But then I started thinking of King David killing Bathsheba’s husband and still being a man after Gods own heart. Then I thought of Saul/Paul and how he killed many followers of Christ. I had to put my notions of he doesn’t deserve to be free wth, away. I slowly started to get to a point where I was like okay he’s taking responsibility and seems to genuinely have come to Christ. But then he blames the victim for him killing him. No, that’s not okay. If it was the truth you would have said so at trial or during your confession. I don’t believe it as truth I truly don’t. You don’t 30 yrs later say oh this is what really happened. Come on man. I will say it kept my attention during the whole thing and even my 10 yr old son stopped what he was doing next to me (playing games) to listen in for a bit. So if it grabbed his attention it will probably do the same to yours. Worth a watch and see what you feel about his story. Fyi- I just wanna say: it’s not up to us to forgive ourselves. No scripture exists about us forgiving ourselves. We forgive others as God forgives us and we ACCEPT Gods forgiveness. Those are the only two scenarios. You can not forgive your own sins, only God does that or has the power to do so. So don’t place yourself above God and say I have to forgive myself like you can take Gods place; you can’t. A lesson I myself had to learn recently. Hard lesson indeed. You either accept his forgiveness or you don’t. God bless.

I thought the movie was great, reminded me a lot of inception style film. Loved the girls apt. I didn’t think it was as slow as everyone is saying as it needed time to breathe. It kept my attention the whole time. With the data breeches that O’dummer put in place with the nsa here in America this isn’t far from reality, now is it? The idea of erasing everything about you in digital form and even analog form is something everyone should want to do. I really enjoyed the end when she says (I’m paraphrasing here), “it’s not that I have something to hide, it’s that I have nothing I want you to see”! This is exactly what I say to those who believe you should want invasion of privacy if it keeps you “safe”! The idea that clives character doesn’t understand the power that’s been given him and the government in the movie is exactly how most people in the world think; just like he does. Anything for the feeling and perception of safety must be okay. I say give the movie a chance. Most movie critics don’t know what they are talking about anyhow when it comes to reviews. Almost like they never know a good movie if it smacked them in the face.

Worse movie ever!!! Literally Will never get that time back. The ending was ridiculous seriously. Sooooooooo slow movie it’s amazing I stayed awake. You wait for something to happen for nothing to literally happen. His wife leaves him for what? What exactly besides him being weird and awkward (which he is from the beginning) did he do? A small closed mouth kiss that she didn’t even know about?! This is right up there in horribleness along with every Madonna movie ever made.
