No, I want to shout out to the world something that is better than that .... I AM SOOOOOO HAPPY THAT MARK RUFFALO WAS NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR!!!! What? Who's that? What did he star in that was so great?
What I love is that people will now pay more attention to the character that Mark Ruffalo plays in this movie. As Paul, his role in this story is that of a sperm donor who is surprised years later by the two kids that are forever and genetically linked to him. He never knew that he had these children out there, after all there are many sperm donors who have no idea if their sperm was used or not (which when you think about it is a terrifying thought for some). But the depth to which he expressed his now changed life was just phenomenal. It is not so much in the words that he says, but rather the subtle pauses in which you can see his character challenging himself to open his heart and his mind to the new family that he helped create. I cannot recommend this movie enough to birth families, birth mothers, birth fathers out there. I think it is the most realistic portrayal of how life can so easily change when your child comes back into your life.
I can only hope that many more people see this movie and are exposed to the human side of reunion with lost family in life. Even though this is not a movie about adoption at all, it still has great potential to shed light on that difficult term that is reunion and all that can come with it.
My heartiest Congratulations to Mr. Ruffalo, I say job very well done!
