This film changed my life and helped me to become a better person.
This movie made me realize how MY life will look when showed upon "the big screen". "Defending Your Life" made me think about how I have handled fear and adversity in my life. It also made me consider the effect my actions can have on the lives of others.
Because of this movie, I can tell you that my bus driver's name is Joe, and my mailman is Bob.
I never liked Meryl Streep in other movies, but playing Julia, she is absolutely charming. This is one of the few movies I plan to buy and keep.
