Everybody's Fine

I know this is my second movie post in two days but I just thought I should express how NON-comedic this movie was. Of course, I was completely biased towards attempting to have a well dynamically-constructed family so watching this father travel the country to do the same created a connection with my life. I swear, Safeway put this in the comedy section just to force me to watch it thinking I would crack up (duhhh, Robert DeNiro) but instead, creating a sick depression which lasted for two days. I didn't get out of bad for a day after watching it.
I told my dad about my experience with this movie and how it probably didn't affect others as much as it did me because I have personal thoughts and hopes regarding the subject this movie tackles. My dad proceeded to email me, saying that he has the same sort of connection with a movie called Sleepers (which I think I fel asleep to about thrice), and it made me feel good that we had that in common.

This movie incorporates a man's battle to keep the family together after the death of the mother, and here I sit, crying just thinking about the depressing fights that are battled in it.
It's terribly beautiful, although I don't think I could ever watch it with anyone else but my family.
