Perception

It amazes me to read the differing views on the plot or point of this movie. In spite of their diverse life experiences, the people were able to sympathize with Michael and his plight. They came together in common cause to help him. They didn’t stop to make judgments about him or whether he deserved their help. They helped simply because they knew what he was feeling. They did unto him what they may have wished for themselves at one time. What a simple, elegant idea. Beautiful film. I guess differing views are one reason we’re so frequently unable to come together to solve problems.

This is an excellent movie, very touching. It is beautiful to see a dad going out all the way to ensure that his kid has something that is import to his ill son no matter what it takes.

Nice story

I enjoyed the video…felt some of the comments were a bit critical…I do agree that the storyline doesn’t really teach responsibility but does show how much a parents love for their child will make them go out of their way. However, I do not necessarily agree that a parent should go to this extreme. I think parents should teach children responsibility by showing them to take care of their things rather than replacing them when they are lost or broken. One has to learn to value their belongings by taking care of them. When our son breaks a toy or loses something we remind him he needs to remember to put things back and take care of his toys or he won’t have it anymore to use. I think this teaches more responsibility than having the parent go out of their way to find or replace the toy. Sure Tony is a sick child, perhaps with cancer, and the parent wants to grant all the child’s wishes before his time comes to leave this world…but the child didn’t seem as attached to it as the parents may have thought since he seemed to live without it just fine and moved on to other things he enjoyed, such as watching Scooby Doo..he didn’t show any excitement or surprise that his father found his bear…so the lesson for the parent should be not to go to extremes to please their child as they may not appreciate it and may not learn to appreciate others or their belongings if you do.

It’s too true, I fear…
Very, very well done, though. Wow.

This was so sweet and so real

This was so sweet and so real. It definitely makes you think. The lengths we will take as parents just to see a smile on their faces.

I have a brother and we had the same problem when Stitch (stuffed alien) went missing. It took forever to find and then my sister’s stuffed Jessica Rabbit went missing for a week. These were the worst two week in our lives. Laura

Hello

If you’re trashing the film you obviously didn’t get it.

IMHO

In my opinion this father was showing love to his son by doing what he could. The boy is sick with cancer and other than getting him medical care, he is powerless against it. But the lost bear, now there was something he could fix. His extraordinary efforts were an expression that he would do anything in his power for his son. The other people got that and wanted to help. (I don’t know how realistic that is, but face it this is a feel good clip). And there are some compassionate people out there still.

As for the kid, I don’t think he was a brat. He told his dad it was ok and didn’t cry or act bratty. And his reaction to the found bear is very real. A six year old has that type of an attention span and is too young to see the love in his father’s actions but when he grows up, he will and will always know how much his dad loves him.

I don’t see the connection to Liberty Mutual but it did feel warm and fuzzy and they are probably hoping for transference of that good will.

Stuff Animals

I lost one of my favorite stuffed animals last summer. I have a lot of them at home. This one was very special to me. This is a great film. I have a one year old niece and three small godchildren. Tony is a great film for everyone to watch. It put a smile on my face after watching this. This dad was #1

We do what we have to do. It is our journey, not always our children’s. They have their own lessons to learn we have ours.
With love,
