Ya'll really blessed my heart with your kind words.

I saw the film the day it opened here in my little corner of Kansas. As I had no concept of how powerful it would be, I promised prior to seeing it to go the very next night with a friend of mine that didn't want to go alone.

So, I saw it two nights in a row. I could barely have a conversation for about a week after.

The difference in the first time I saw it and the second? The second time, it was all I could do to stay in my seat at the end. I wanted to jump up and down and scream, "Yes! We win!" I was overcome with a feeling of victory.
