A quickie before bed. A WARNING if you will! Took our good old mate who's in his 70s and lost his wife quite a few years ago, to see the film UP. His choice and it was good.
HOWEVER...who would've thought that a childrens animated film (although it's good for adults too!), would have the whole 'not having children' as part of the storyline. A small bit but part of it none the less!! I won't give it away, but there's a synopsis of the old man's life, and it shows them getting excited and painting a nursery and then her being consoled by a doc and her husband in a clinic room with a diagram of a pregnant woman in the background, so you get the idea.
Sooooo of course, inspite of it being an animated childrens film...I shed a few tears!!! Every film, tv show and flippin' book I watch/read has the children storyline. I've just finished a book that said Nothing about infertility on the back .... but there it was. Anyway, just to warn anyone who's not prepared. Wish my girlfriend who saw it the other week had told me.
