An intriguing character, to be sure, and I'll see if I can learn more about it.Alexandyr Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358689836161734165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34411274.post-20219976909025701602007-12-28T20:41:00.000-06:002007-12-28T20:41:00.000-06:00forgot the follow-up comment feature...forgot the follow-up comment feature...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34411274.post-23468392589118617852007-12-28T20:40:00.000-06:002007-12-28T20:40:00.000-06:00I went to see the movie with my 70-year old mother...I went to see the movie with my 70-year old mother, 14-year old daughter and 12-year old cousin. We all enjoyed the movie very much. I'm a grown-azzed man ... and the movie had me in tears on a number of occassions. It was a very powerful movie. I look forward to seeing it again!<BR/><BR/>I read your interviews with the three young actors. Well done.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, there is a Black male character in the movie named Wilson. He serves the three debaters their food while they are studying for that final Harvard debate. Later you see Wilson in the audience at the debate. I felt as if there was a <B>back-story</B> to the Wilson character. Do you know his story?<BR/><BR/>peace, VillagerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.com
