Their similar themes and approaches make a great tandem. Both remain favorites of mine, films which I recommend to one and all. And amazingly enough, if memory serves, both are rated 'G'.

I cant tell you how lucky I was to have only clicked on this link among the plethora of reviews in RT. One of the scenes that stood out to me was during the end of the movie when Di is at home and suddenly she starts hearing the teachings of Luo, she runs to the school to find out that her son is teaching, taking in all that she had said the night before. This theme of loyalty resonated to me when my dad asked me to study business during my freshmen year. So I chose Operations Management for personal and family reasons. My dad owns a shoe business back in India and I think I know why he prompted me to pursue business as a major. But it is so hard to choose between the US and India. I wish it was simple as teaching one day in the village lol. I had felt some Christian overtones when I was reading the article and my curiosity was pacified when I saw that you were affiliated with CT at one time. Peace Kent I loved this review just as much as I loved the movie. I cant tell you how lucky I was to have only clicked on this link among the plethora of reviews in RT.
