I watched this movie several years ago, but I remember it well - many scenes come to mind and are related to everyday living. for example - as we age, we want to do the things we used to be able to do physically, but this is challenging and and unrealistic. The movie touches on this subject and is a realistic warning to everyone, man versus nature should not be taken lightly. The best thing about this movie, based on a true story, is the honesty of the characters - and honesty is both funny and enlightening. "We are not alone" in our ideals and pursuits, just as we are not alone in our facing our limitations and our failures. The movie is realistic as it touches on the heart of the human soul in our quest to always challenge ourselves and to learn from and accept our limitations and our failures. It also touches upon the value of relationships, truth, and the need of loved ones to let the individual explore the realms of "self".
