Death – a real tear jerker…
Had the pleasure yesterday of seeing a screening of LeVar Burton’s new movie “Reach for me.” A rather interesting experience I have to say. There had been a reason why I had been avoiding Lifetime channel and movies they would show: anytime I see someone cry, I have a hard time not crying myself. Sucky. Especially when watching a movie, the mental body fully aware of being manipulated emotionally with sound and vision, and the emotional body just loosing it… Ahhhhh emotions… Was definitely a good exercise in containment 
But that was not the point. The movie dealt with death and described the transformation of a grumpy old patient in a hospice from waiting to die toward embracing the last moments of his life. In the Q&A afterward LeVar was talking about how he wanted to make the movie because in our society death is a taboo and we don’t deal with it…
