My favorite txreview was "Lost in Translation". My problem with this movie is Denzel Washington. He is a little too smug and self-absorbed- and not very professional (I'm in the profession). He's patronizing, superior in a paternalistic, overly familiar sort of way. A good male therapist does not refer to his clients/patients as, "son". It occured to me after seeing this movie, that Denzel Washington essentially plays the same character in all his movies- I've been avoiding his movies since this realization.

I'm sorry you misunderstood what I was saying here. Of course foster children or adoptive children can find their parents. I never meant to say otherwise. What I was trying to say was that the scene where Antwone Fisher talks to his mother is a big fat lie. I don't believe that it happened just that way. It's simply too unlikely. Without giving away too much of what happens, I don't believe that anyone would behave the way that the mother does when the Fisher character confronts her. Well, of course it happens.

But I am totally mad right now. Antwone Fisher was a phenomenal film. And why cant a foster child that has never seen thier real mother before never reunite. Ive had six foster brothers and sisters and I am happy to report that four out of the six have been able to find thier real parents. So it does happen!!!
