 | One of the best films I have ever seen. Sorry I never got around to seeing this one sooner. Impressive acting and phenomenal direction make this film the best ever made on the topic of coping with illness in a family or otherwise. George Miller also directed Witches of Eastwick, Road Warrior, Babe Pig in the city...Talk about versatility. He has an unbelievable control of the moving image with this film...I am in awe. |

| On 07/20/04, I visited the web site http://www.myelin.org/ and clicked on ABOUT LORENZO & HIS PARENTS where I obtained the following excerpt:
"About Lorenzo, his Parents, and Oumouri
(in answer to the many questions we receive)
Lorenzo celebrated his 25th birthday on May 29, 2003. He is deprived of most of his functions, but his mind is still there. Lorenzo communicates through blinking his eyelids to say no and wiggling his fingers to say yes. He enjoys music and being read to. Lorenzo will not regain his speech or full mobility until we are successful with remyelination.
Michaela succumbed to cancer in June 2000. Augusto, who continues the fight for his son, works out of his office at Myelin Project Headquarters located in Dunn Loring, Virginia, just outside of Washington D.C.
Lorenzo likes to receive mail from his ?friends? and well-wishers. You may write to him c/o The Myelin Project, 2136 Gallows Road, Suite E, Dunn Loring, Virginia 22027."
I encourage you to visit this web site where you can get an update on The Myelin Project, make a donation to
The Myelin Project, read a letter from Augusto Odone dated 02/19/04, and see pictures of Lorenzo, his Parents, and Oumouri.

| There is nothing like a true story and great actors putting their all into a most powerful movie...This story, coupled with the Odone's website help you see the progression of Lorenzo. Unfortunately, Lornenzo's mother passed away but his father is still a force to be reckoned with today. |
