Just watched the local news. The woman, Peggy Scott, used to work in broadcasting. The nurse who attended to her thought that the movie contributed to her heart attack. the hospital staff was urging that people with weak hearts stay away from the movie. They were interviewing people that left the theater. Some people left sick to their stomachs, most crying. There is supposed to be more news at 10:00.
The movie sounds extremely unpleasant to me. I'm wondering what other people's take on it was.
I'm very sorry to hear of this womans death. I'll pray for her and her family.
There are some, quite funny, reports from one of the first 'movies' made. l'arrivée d'un train à la gare'. (Arrival of a train in the station). The 'movie' which lasts a few minutes I think simply shows a train riding in the station. As movies were a completely new medium people did not know what to expect. It says that some people ran out of the theater screaming, thinking the train would ride right into them. There was talk about women going in labour prematurely and people suffering from heart attacks, etc. How much of this is legend and how much fact I don't know (should look it up).
I've heard from multiple reports that the movie is extremely raw and emotional, to the point of making people physically sick, especially if they're people that empathise easily.

Um, unless I missed something, aren't we as Christians supposed to be happy to die. Without death there really is no graduation right?
And as ways to go, thats not bad. I personally would rather be leading worship or something like that but its not bad.
I agree, if she was a christian which only her and God know for sure. I do feel for the family though and the pain and suffering that they are dealing with. It's tough to lose someone you love. But yes, again, I agree with you. Big surprise there huh?
good lord. I am a bit disturbed that you are envious of a dead person. But I guess that is since I don't have the holy spirit runnin through me. my spirit tells me to appreciat what am doing here because i have been with the divine forever and will be forever more, but your time here is precious.
I hope she was a christian.
