Sean Penn won Best Actor for his performance as schizophrenic Dr. Minor...and well deserved. A great chronicling also starring Mel Gibson about the agonizing compilation of the totally comprehensive Oxford Dictionary...a true story. There are many examples of embracing the human spirit in this movie, leaving us much to ponder and adapt for our lives. The young lady who plays the role of the widow and her heartfelt decision to forgive is absolutely riveting. A wonderful story worthy of watching.
online today!OMG. No wonder it took 17 years for the dictionary to be published. What they did to decipher every single word, every syllable made me nervous. And now we have Mr. Google.
