Like Dandelion Dust – An Adoption Movie
My encouragement to you: See it this opening weekend if you can, because every theater seat that’s filled is a vote of support. And please spread word if you love it. Pushy, pushy I know, but . . . your chatter matters—particularly because independent films don’t have gazillion-dollar ad budgets that accompany studio blockbusters. The indy system works like a family business. Revenue from the first weekend is used to expand the film’s distribution week after week thereafter. You get the idea, so now . . . go have fun. Take a friend, your family, a neighbor—and especially some Kleenex. (Rick Christian- PresidentAlive Communications, Inc.)
A co-worker just told me about this movie this morning. If I can find a babysitter, we will be going to see it. I've been told to bring lots of tissues.
I posted this clip on my facebook page. I had friend get very upset about and said that she would never see it. I was a little surprised. I guess everyone has a different take on the move.
I am an adoptive mom and I just watched this movie. I actually did not appreciate it!! I love adoption and orphan care and I am concerned that although this movie is about adoption, I can't see how it could be a "pro-adoption" movie in terms of encouraging others to adopt! I think it would instill unrealistic fear into protential adoptive parents who would be afraid that this tug-of-war would happen to them. Yes, it does talk about sacrificial love, and that was touching, but I am looking at it in terms of advancing the cause of adoption, and I just don't get that from this movie!
Right On, Just the information I was looking for, thanks for your help.
