The fact that I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall and grew up in the 50's and 60's made me really relate to this movie even after all these years. There are many hard things in life you have to learn and far worse things that happen to people in their lives but the fact that I was bullied from Kindergarten until I was 15 still resonates with me now that I am 65 years old. Back then a tall woman wasn't the norm and I still have people look at me in astonishment when I walk down the street. I was told I should be a model as well but apparently I wasn't skinny enough. At that height, weighing 150 lbs. I was considered overweight. My point is.....I dealt with it because I had no choice. There are alot more complexities in life than physical differences. Unfortunately things haven't changed that much when you look back 50 years ago and compare them to this day and age. I still have scars from back then and it's taken me many, many years to overcome them. But I have, and I now have a wonderful husband, daughter and granddaughter to look forward to in my remaining years. But remember one thing....be kind, words and actions can hurt and remain in a person's life for many years.
