The Mighty

King of the Hill (not that cartoon thing)

Both of these movies focus on childhood. Both of them are miracle stories, if you ask me.

If it had not been for Sharon Stone, The Mighty might not ever have been made. She loved the story so much she sold producers on it. Her commitment was so great that she waived being paid for her role in it.

This is not a typical movie, nor a typical Sharon Stone glamor role. In this she plays a supporting role that is hardly glamorous.

King of the Hill is entirely different from The Mighty. I don't know why the movie is entitled King of the Hill. It's about a boy and his parents during the depression who live in one room of a seedy hotel. You meet bizarre and wonderful people, and the boy himself is incredible. He had none of the advantages that kids have today. He did not have his basic needs filled, and yet nothing held him back.

I believe this movie told of the life of the screenwriter.

Will someone watch these movies and tell me what you feel!

With love and blessings,
