<p>I walked out of Slumdog as well. I am going to go back to the cliche…needed for artistic intent…you had to understand the woman…the gentleness (with her former guardian) and how she was able to survive.</p>
<p>When Schlindler’s List came out both my parents had just died. I couldn’t see it. One of my dearest friend’s father was nominated for the movie. She took me over to a screening room and ran it…It was a cathartic experience. An amazing movie.</p>
<p>Not all movies are for all people. Know your limits. (Incidentally one of my children used to act professionally. She saw the movie with us. I casually asked her if she would have let me watch it with her if she were the star. --Note: I turned down several roles for her that I deemed inappropriate–Her answer, “Bleep No!”</p>
