    Cider House Rules-Pro-Life Morality Play

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 15, 2000 | 1 out of 1 found this The Cider House Rules (1999) review helpful

    John Irving used this book and movie to argue the pro-abortion position. but the movie is very "pro-life".Look what happens to the main characters. The good Dr.Larch dies alone,unrecognized and addicted to drugs,the couple who aborts an inconvenient... pregnancy will remain childless, the migrant worker foreman dies a nasty death, and Toby Maguire's character is condemned to live his life as a fraud-and this is supposed to be"pro-choice?"

    This movie was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I am a big time movie buff, and seeing this film made me laugh, cry, and think. Believing in abortions, but not believing in orphanage totally changed my views. I believe when a wom...an has the choice of keeping the baby, giving it up, or having an abortion, she should do whatever she wants too, no matter what other people may think. Now, I believe orphange's are great. It gives children a way to grow up in a world, but the reason I was and still kind of am, the child does not get to view the world. Homer did. He got to view all the aspects of the world. He even experienced "love." I think every person should see this film and take it to heart. Don't watch the movie and go against it with your views. Listen to it, appreciate it, and you will love the movie!! Read more Less
