Conhecendo o Espírito do Amor no Natal

Simply abominable. To quote the movie it was almost "like having someone shove your face in your own crap". The many directions this could have taken and they chose this one. Who was the lead ? Hard to say. I honestly can never get the time back.

This 2019 movie was ahead of the game, but having been overdosed on millennial, LGBT, mixed race 2020/2021 movies this Christmas, I just wanted something else. TV/FILM has a shocking tendency to ignore groups of people for ages then get obsessed with them and forget about others. There's so much more to cover to really tick the diversity boxes.

I rarely watch this network. But they play reruns of an old show I enjoy, saw this advertised and it looked interesting. Aisha Dee is cute, and a very good actress. She has a bright career ahead of her. Not true for the other actress, Kamiko Glenn. She talks through her nose and is hard to understand. But now for the movie. The reason it was so interesting to me is because although it was obviously meant for young people, I am not one of those. I recently found out, at a class reunion, that a girl with whom I was in love in high school, but never told, had died this past year. Even though we were not close over the past 50 years, I had not even thought of her over the years. We briefly talked a few years ago at a previous reunion. Don't misunderstand, I dearly love my wife of 53 years. But all of a sudden, I wished I had told Cindy how I felt all those many years ago. Now I can't tell her. Strange, huh? One final thought from a retired first responder. Don't text and drive.

...since I lost a friend who passed away in a car accident & never got to say goodbye to her. So caution to those who have recently lost a loved one. The movie is quirky but it's hard to watch...

This movie is special. Reminds us to love and to be honest. I'm better for having seen it.
