I saw this movie today for the first time, and cannot believe, that I had never seen it before now. It was such a beautiful and moving story, a story that showed how love can develop between people, regardless of age, race or their relationship to each other. All thou Marvin wasn't Tige's father he became the father that Tige never had, and showed him in so many ways just how much he would do to show him that he did. And Tige showed him how much a little boy could return that love. All in all it proved that true love comes from the heart. And I truly feel that this 1985 movie should be showed in movie theaters today, that it would make a great impact on so many people lives. It doesn't need to be remade because to me that would only take away from it. I think that John Cassavetes and Gibram Brown both deserves "ACADEMY WARDS", because they performed so well, and they should both be recognized for it. It really made a great impact on me today, I cried tears of sadness as well as tears of happiness.
