Dear Frankie - Fan Tribute
Uploaded by zzabba1986
Dear Frankie is my new favorite movie. It isn't a new movie (2004), it's just that I discovered it a few weeks ago. If you haven't seen it, check it out at your library or whatever you have to do to see it. You can go to Youtube and watch fan video tributes like this one - another loving fan tribute to this endearing movie full of acting talent and a beautifully directed story. Dear Frankie is a must see.

The entire cast is superb.
Gerard Butler and Jack McElhone deserved awards for this movie, for sure.
As did the first time feature film director Shona Auerbach.
This film shows us how film can be art.

The Academy needs to have a new category - for movies they missed giving deserving awards to in the year they were eligible. You know, an "oops, we're sorry" award - sorry for missing the mark the first time.

Here is a list of the awards Dear Frankie did receive.

Man Kind

When I’m all by myself
I smile and laugh
I sing
and run
and pick flowers

Sometimes
I ask questions,
sometimes answering myself.
There are times I cry.

When I’m with you
I do some of the same things
but like magic
the little girl in me
feels like a princess
and the woman in me
feels like a queen.

Poem by Sandra Hammel
Written when I was 21 years of age
from Journal Volume 1

Sample of what to say:

* I'm calling to ask President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton and Ambassador Rice to protect innocent civilians in Darfur in the wake of Bashir's arrest warrant. Please issue immediate warnings to Bashir and the government of Sudan specifying consequences of attacks on civilians. Please also prepare an emergency response plan to address further violence and appoint a full-time senior level envoy. Lastly, please stand firm in support of the ICC indictment and veto any delay in the prosecution of Bashir.
