Hey guys...
Have just seen a movie which I found incredibly funny and moving: "Bridget
Jones's Diary." For those of you out of the swim of things, it's about an
over-30 "singleton" who is a bit overweight and her attempt to write her
life in her diary for a year; she gets her man, of course - after all this
is a romantic comedy - but not after all sorts of blind avenues and false
starts. It reminded me of another film, "Notting Hill;" I looked up the
credits, and sure enough the same guy produced both films, as well as Hugh
Grant being in both. However I really liked "Notting Hill" because it
featured a character who was disabled - a woman who was in a wheelchair -
who was happily married to an AB guy. It was so cool to me because she was
presented in such a normal, every-day sort of way, not as a heroine or
anything like that.
Now I'm trying to remember any other films in which a disabled person is
perceived as normal as anyone else; can anyone think of any?
