Thruout the movie, I was momentarily jarred by many of the same things that were been mentioned here, but for the most part, I forgot them as my enjoyment continued. Even the heavy-handed depiction of “corporate greed” or the “over-zealous military commander” were accepted as being a important part of the film.But there one small thing that (oddly enough, I guess) irritated me. I had no way to go back and watch it again, but I’m pretty sure that when the Colonel was killed, he took his hands off the robot controls, trying to remove the arrow/bolt. Yet, with the Colonel’s death, the robot TOPPLED OVER! I would have expected such a machine just to simply stop moving and stand there.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, see only the good in people. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. ~ Audrey Hepburn

Thanks for sharing Jenn. I completely agree that it is indeed very hard to see the positive when our human nature is often to focus on the negative. I trust your "confrontation" ended with grace.

Darren, this is my first time reading your blog, the title was too irresistible. Thanks for sharing and here's to praying for all of us to "see each other". Last night I had a tiny confrontation with a friend and was thinking how it is so hard love each other when you start to see flaws. Also praying to have His eyes.
