    I've seen bits and pieces of the movie on TV...I need to watch the whole thing. I have pretty much given up on reading for enjoyment, at least a few more years.

        I didn't realise that there was a movie. I wonder how it would compare to the book. I will definitley check it out some night when my husband is on call.

              That reminds me of an Iranian movie about orphans - "Turtles can fly." It was so sad I couldn't finish watching it.

                  Yeah he was - here is more about it:

                  Was it the one you were thinking of? I watched half of it and couldn't stop crying.
