Every once in a while you run across a story that touches your soul, this one that brought forth so many emotions sadness, love, friendship and the love of his mother was deeper than any ocean. He had such passion in his stories fully embossed and sunken into the depths of his soul words flowing forth with desperation to the maximum of truth as he saw it.
@@waltersmith281to each its own; the movie is great acting. It deals with mental health struggles in a doomed relationship right from the get go.❤ One has to go thru it ti understand the movie theme... D' Onofrio is a great character actor, a great leading man in his younger days..❤🎉🎉🎉 cheers to you, too Oh! I Forgot to add that the film is a ladies's- romance- drama-movie, so yes, I can definitely understand the "kidding" perpective it might be for you..lol😂
My feelings changed as the story moved on. I went from thoroughly disliking Mr. Howard to feeling sorry for him, to having actual affection for him. From the moment that woman on the bus started talking, my heart started breaking and the tears started to flow. I was surprised by the fact that the girl didnt start writing until she was retired and that her story was about the time she shared with Bob and that this film is based on that story. It all went full circle and in all her life, she never forgot him .
@@yodservant I can't help but wonder how differently Howard's life would have turned out if she would have given him another chance, when he seemed to sincerely realize that he needed her and wanted to commit to being with her and expressed that to her.
We have been hitchhiking from womb to womb in various species for billions of years…very possible we have been living in that era as well….better to wake up from this waking dream life and exit this never endiig cycle of birth death rebirth…
I love Vincent D’Onofrio’s acting, he can pull off a variety of characters really well. I’ve also met him twice in person because his sister owned a restaurant here and she hosted his charity he does for cops exposed to drug houses. He was very gracious and nice. Got two pics with him and an autograph.
The only actors I've met were when I was a child. Kate Jackson, Barry Williams,And I can't remember the other ones name, but he played on Bonderosa David Carnary I think was his name. They were at the Telethon in Raleigh and we had gone around the neighborhood collecting money and got to speak with them because of it.
Thank you for posting this. It's nice to know he's a decent person and quietly supports a good charity. I've always enjoyed his range as an actor and when I first saw this movie years ago I thought he was great in it. So different from his more famous roles.
I didn't like her th1st movie I saw her in but soon ca too.e to appreciate her acting when i next watced her & Hugh Grant in a couple. I do agree that she is excellent indeed but I also think there are a few as good..really enjoy each as I watch them. 'The magic of ordinary days' was a movie I enjoyed a few days ago..not brilliant actresses/actors but did love them. I don't know how it rates compared to this as I've not watched yet..only reading the comments first. Still..I loved it even though not necessarily a polished one maybe to some. See what you think ?
She and Tom Hanks both bring a human element to the roles they play, that makes everything they play in touch you in some way. Its easy to mistakenly believe that some actors have a knack for picking great roles in great movies, when the truth is they MAKE them great.
This movies d the actors really were amazing. Touched me to the heart and helped me understand we do not walk this walk alone. So many people are alone in this life’s walk, however, inside each one of us there is someone who needs to be loved and appreciated.
"...inside each one of us there is someone who needs to be loved and appreciated." How I "survive" that big empty place at 77 is that I remember the loves I have known in the past and try to remember the words they shared as I do remember their kind actions. And while I wish I had love in my life at this time I am grateful for the loves I have known, people who were kind and people who believed in me. I've been blessed and I do not forget it.
@@angelinahunter182 After someone responded to my comment (which was an answer to someone else), saying they decided not to watch the movie after reading my comment, I have erased the original comment. I thought the movie & the acting was all wonderful, I highly recommend for anyone to watch it.
@@lindascott2008 your comment makes me not want to watch the movie, but I think I found this post just to read what you had to say, so I'll give them a like for you
This movie cut into my heart terribly;It is my son my only son's story;He is a kind and gentle soul that fantasizes about how life is in his mind;Beautiful yet the majority of people cant see it;Being close to going home and leaving him is really tearing me apart because I feel that will be the one thing he cannot push himself through and will end his journey too soon;Lord praying you stay close to him and this won't be the way your story ends
Just the fact that you notice your son is this way makes you an amazing mom! That love will help him through. You will be the voice in his head guiding him through life.
I am sorry but you know very well that your son probably lacks of Howard's talent. He is a normal person Who needs good and kind people sorrounding him. But even if he is a writer Will be like thousand of them Howard only there was one.
How about Daniel Day Lewis in "Gangs of New York" and "There Will Be Blood", that is top notch incredible acting. Also Javier Bardem in "No Country For Old Men". I guarantee you that those 3 movies will reveal to you the best acting you have ever seen in your entire life.
Both lead actors talents, along with the storyline made this one of the best films Iv'e ever seen. Vincent D'Onofrio is one of the most brilliant actors of his age. Many thanks for posting this amazing films.❤❤
One of my favorite movies of all time. So deep, so beautiful and so emotional. Grateful to whoever uploaded it to RUclips. A film with soul that touches the heart.
I didn’t set out to watch this. The movie just came up on my YT page. Started up automatically, so I just let it run. Never heard of it either. Of course, I too cried at the end. You know sometimes love is so multi faceted, so complicated. The older I get, the more I just accept that love and loving just has its own compass. At least both Novalyn and Bob stayed true. Death comes to us all. Just as does love- however it manifests. I am so grateful for watching this movie performed by excellent actors. I am gonna look up her book. Writing it at 75 or 76? There’s still hope for me yet! 🙏🙏🙏
What a great film with superb acting by both Renee and Howard. I love watching a Texas gal play another Texas gal. We're so proud of you, Renee! You just get better with time!
I've really only seen one good movie since 2010. A Star is Born with B. Cooper and Gaga was one of them. So sick of Star Wars, Marvel, bad horror movies and the like. Today's movies are made to stupify people. However...I REALLY am looking forward to the new DiCaprio flick, Killers of the Flower Moon. I am willing to go to a theater and sit through all three and a half hours of it.
Well, it's all planned out to control how and what people should think and feel. US is full of demonic killing and sex filled zombies....isn't that what Bob said..people want it!
Thought that myself recently; 90-2010 seemed to be the pinnacle. Now most movies are preachy and pushing a woke agenda instead of entertaining us with compelling characters/story lines.
His acting was amazing in this show I had never heard of before. Rene was perfect as she always has been. Amazing scenes between them, perfect chemistry.
I had no idea what this movie was about, just started watching. As I see it, it's a brilliant story of love, acceptance or no acceptance, conformity and non conformity and following your heart. The lady at the end was an angel sent by Bob for Novalyn. 100% recommend!
Thank you RUclips for giving us this tender, beautifully acted tale of friendship and a special kind of love which if you are lucky, may occur in your lifetime between ywo souls connected and magically entangled.
AT the end I realized why it felt so real. The characters were like real life people fleshed out and round. In fact, they were. It was an amazing film, it shows that life is the best story teller and real people are more exciting many times than fictional ones. Thank you. Kudos for both actors, it was amazing. Of course, from Renée Zellweger this is what one expects. Thank you. I was touched I was moved I was really absorbed in their life story.
Robert E. Howard was indeed a real person and a real writer, he is often compared to J. R. R. Tolkien as one of the fathers of modern fantasy. the Conan character who is mentioned several times throughout the film is the basis for the 1982 film Conan the Barberian, staring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
D'Onofrio never disappoints when portraying psychologically complex characters. I first became interested in him when he played the part of the Criminal Intent detective Robert Goren. He has a certain je ne sais quoi that never fails.
Agree. Later, I realized i had seen in movies and didn’t make the connection. I watched those movies in awe of how he was so different. My hubby and I enjoyed his depiction of detective Goren a lot. ❤❤
Not to forget that he played that roach creature in Men In Black... But the first time I saw him was Adventures in Babysitting. The kids thought he was Thor 😂❤
I saw this movie about 12 years ago and had a vague memory of it, all I recalled was the superb acting (Rene and Vincent) and I knew it was a magnificent story. I was so glad I found it tonight!! what a treat!!!!!!
Two Gun Bob Howard is my all time favorite author. It's nice that a movie about him was made. Now if someone would make a Conan movie about the actual character he created that would be even better.
This movie tears at my heart, it’s so beautiful and so sad. I walked that path and 20 years after he took his own life, he is the love of my life and the worst pain I have endured.
Your comment has made me cry. Thank you for putting everything into order and I have the same predicament that when I'm gone what's going to happen to my son
6+18-23 I have wanted to see this movie for years, and I'm so glad I watched it tonight. What an incredible story! A beautiful story about a very complex young man who lived life on his own terms. In spite of his difficulties in life and his flaws, deep down he had a beautiful spirit. Novalyne is/ was (?) clearly an amazing person to have seen beyond the rough edges, and appreciate and love Bob for who he was. This movie really touched my heart, and I only wish Hollywood would produce more quality films like this. Many thanks to the person who posted this!
I've always have loved being mezmerizd by watching Vincent's acting but THIS was most brilliant and exceptional. Both leads are incredibly their best together. So glad I got to see this movie. Unforgettable!!!
Good movie. I love intelligent dialog, there is so little of it these days. Renee is terrific and Vincent D’Onofrio is great. There was a moment he went a bit Private Pyle/Full Metal Jacket - he should have gotten a best supporting actor Oscar for that role.
What an absolute privilege to have seen this most beautiful film , everything about it was incredible, the acting , the locations, the direction everything just perfection . I’m so sorry Robert took his own life , so sorry for his lost chance of love with Novaylyn , He was different but so unique .. Absolutely overjoyed I found this .. Thank you for posting it .
What an amazing movie! I didn't know it was based off a true story until the movie was over. I do wish it coulda been longer. I liked it so much that I went and did some online research to see pictures of the actual people. They were in love, but there lives and differences about each other didn't allow them to even dare to have or enjoy a dating relationship let alone get married. I give this movie two thumbs 👍👍 up! ❤ Thanks so much to the soul that did the hard work and uploaded it for us all too see.
Crystal, stay in school and pay particular attention in English classes. Your spelling, grammar and syntax need improvement. Things are “based on” reality, not based off it. Their and there sound alike, but have totally different meanings. Learn the difference between “to” and “too”. Again, homonyms, but with very different meanings and functions in a sentence.
@@judeirwin2222 Only GOD can teach me. I need not your opinion of how This Kingdom Queen speaks or TyPes for That MatTer... Merry Christmas and HapPy kNew Year, sir/ma'am 🎈🎉☺️😃
I totally agree! Here’s a fun bit if trivia for you… he had a pretty great part as “Edgar”the farmer in the original “Men In Black” movie ! Thats the first role I remember seeing just how much of a talented actor he is! And his role on “Law and Order (for years!) made me a diehard fan for life! He is excellent!
This is one of the best movies I've seen since the notebook. I couldn't stop watching it for a second. Great acting and the greatest story with the best of the best actors. Stellar movie! ❤
At first, I thought it was boring but then it became one of my favorite stories. The ending made me cry a lot. I love how Howard shows honor and love for his mother. He may sound rude sometimes but if you delve in to the situation he's in, you'll gonna be amaze of his character.
As the movie was coming to a close, I wanted to know the ending before it played out on my screen. I think the movie followed the biography pretty well. Naturally one has to cram as much into a nearly 2 hour script as a writer can, but the screenwriter managed to succeed in telling the story of the relationship between Bob and Novalyne. I wish I could have met her. She's a person I would have enjoyed knowing. I've known many authors in my lifetime, but Robert E. Howard inspired my brothers as boys and still do to this day. But it's Novalyne who inspires me.
Renee Zellweger was able to impart so well the character of Novalyne…a strong willed sensitive woman who believed in her own worth …a relationship that brought so much joy and great sadness…a movie with many messages..mainly judgement of those who just don’t get it.
Vincent & Reenee did a great job. They always put themselves in the place of who they portray. Every emotion to be felt & shared is in this movie. It opens our heart & lifts our spirit & converges in our soul. I love this movie because it opens our minds to the way others sees things, we may not be able to see. Much less focus on. Vincent always does a great job regardless of who he plays. His depth of emotions stirs us so we may open our eyes, heart & mind to value what's before us. I felt every emotion one can feel when watching movies like this. It was directed & produced perfectly. Thank you for posting this amazing/reality style movie. It's sad he took his life & left this world w/out completing his writings & prose. Just because someone has a different outlook on life, & what they believe it should be, doesn't mean it isn't real. Life takes us on an amazing journey as different people come into our life no matter how long it is. I cried off & on throughout this movie. It touched my heart & made me thankful for who I am & how much being in love w/the right person makes a difference. I'm happier than I've ever been since a very special, amazing man came into my life. We're deeply in love. We have a spiritual connection a lot of couples do not have. I compose poetry & people love reading & receiving it. Have an amazing journey & a blessed day. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers. God blessed is w/the gift to give life. It is an honor to be able to bear children w/a man you love.
Very beautifully perceived and written comment. I can relate to finding the love of your life and like in this movie recognizing, accepting, and loving the unique differences and quirkiness in each other. I was in a very traumatic, loveless marriage for twenty five years and when it was over I was absolutely not looking for anyone and wanted to just finish raising my fifteen year old twin daughters. When out of nowhere this bigger than life West Texas rancher who looked and sounded exactly like John Wayne came into our lives and embraced us all with more love and protection than I had ever realized. He was a total alpha male who had been cattle ranching, riding, roping, building, fixing anything, hunting, a total man’s man that could do anything and yet has the most gentle, generous, sweet soul and loved literature, and is also a very good poet. He wrote and recited wonderful poetry. My whole family has been blessed with this incredible person and although I did not actually bear a child with him we raised one of my twin daughter’s baby girl when my daughter became pregnant at 16. My husband and my hero, even though I’m many years younger than he, has seen me through one advanced stage 4 cancer and never left my side and took incredible care of not only me but our three year old adopted granddaughter at the time, and now eight years later after being cured of the first cancer I am once again battling my second stage 4 cancer, this time I have to stay five hours away from my beloved husband because we live in a very remote area of west Texas and I’m undergoing more treatment and the separation is the hardest part of it all. Someday soon I dream of being able to go back home so we can once again be together again. Thank you for sharing your sensitive and very perceptive insights. Many blessings to you !
What a lovely and inciteful perception of this movie. I have seen it and and don’t remember it being so touching and I’m usually more in tune. Now I’m going to watch it again since reading your comment! Thanks.
Beautiful love story! What else can I say that was not said in the movie. One has to experience it in order to try and understand why did it have to end this way. Love is the treasure at the end of the rainbow that all of us seek and few ever find.
A profound film, about two wondrous Souls bound beyond earthly connection - excellent actors, both perfect in their own right. What an honour to catch a glimpse of the true story and feel a tiny bit of their stunning bond.
One of my favorite movies. Love Vincent's chuckling laughter and accent throughout. Both actors are perfectly balanced against each other. Dialogue and his loud outbursts are priceless and funny at once. L❤
My first time seeing this movie but not the first time seeing Mr D’Ornofrio or Miss Renee Zellweger act and I have to say that they never disappoint. I really believed that they were the characters that they played until I learned that the story was not fiction but real. I like others who made comments found out at the end of this movie. Wow! So powerful and beautifully written. I was so moved to tears. This was for me by far an absolute masterpiece ❤
I watched this movie 4 times straight ; and I am going to watch it more., thank you miss price for sharing this incredible life story of a romance that failed ; but it was a success for us. thank you Bob Howard for your courage and love for people you really showed it, but you thought you hid it. you are truly a man of great substance and have outstanding qualifications .....you never knew just how great you really were . ! I am a fan of you both. Texas was blessed to have you two in the state at the same time. I believe GOD had his hands on their typewriters !
RZ chooses rich roles with depth of character. This movie masterfully demonstrates how to maintain challenging relationships with healthy boundaries and get the best out of them.
This is a very good movie, one that I don't forget even years later. The story itself is unforgettable. What a visionary writer gone too soon. I do believe if Price had not left he would have strength to live on. She promised to write once she settled in but she didn't. Two women he loved and were emotionally attached to were gone. He might have looked tough and barbarous but he was very insecure like a little child.
A fine romantic drama. I didn't know until the end that this is based on a true story. A movie beautifully made and beautifully acted. Thank you for the upload!
This movie was so beautifully done! It also taught me who the originating author to the Conan stories were. I can even feel Bob’s essence in the Conan movie....
This movie was so good and I had never heard of it, although i love both actors. Very enjoyable yet food for thought regarding life situations. Then seeing that it is based on true story AND this woman was 76 when she wrote this?! Quite extraordinary 🌅
I just had the pleasure of being entertained for "2" hours by two extraordinary and charismatic actors who brought magic, joy and sadness - and made me cry. A++
"Hey Girl... Take a look at that sunset I ordered for you... I'll save you a piece of it..." All have fled, all gone, So lift me up on the pyre; The feast is over The lamps expired -- Robert Howard-- Robert Howard was gifted, compassionate, down-to-earth, loving beautiful Soul... 🦋💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🦋
@@Kittyheavenwith21catsIt's obvious he was mentally troubled, but in his core, he was a kind man who couldn't take the loss of his mother. Novalyne was able to see past his troubled mind and loved him. You're acting like Novalyne's friend in the beginning of the movie.
The best writers live their stories. This movie has inspired me to pick up writing again. I have much to write about. Thank you for bringing this story to the screen and youtube..my little screen on my computer desk.
.......and even though you won't see him for a while Is he still your friend?.... True love has no end I really loved the story. The film is excellent, the actors play very well. Thank you very much.
At the end of the movie, on the bus, for the first time a sunRISE is mentioned to Novalyne Price (Renée) , not all the sunSETS that many scenes had shown and words about them had been uttered. The storyline was so deep, so out of the ordinary that quite early during the movie I felt that A REAL WRITER must have been involved in pouring out all those emotions on us, the viewers. The end of the movie reveals the truth. I'm so glad to have seen it. It was the kind of a sad joy. / Superb acting, especially that of Mr. D'Onofrio.
Only 20 minutes in but Wow! to D'Onofrio already! Had only seen him on L & O before this, had no idea of his talent! Cool! Already knew Renee was wonderful of course, always a delight ❤
I very seldom do this but I feel compelled just to say something I feel its like a spiritual experience its if I have just had an epiphany. Spellbound from start to finish, the story portrayal, the acting, casting, sets, creativeness at its complete pinacle 'Wow' thank you .
I love this film. Being a bit of a misfit myself, I fell in love with the character Robert Howard immediately. Rene’s character really broke my heart because she couldn’t see the man apparently until she grew old. What people think is not something one should concern themselves about, and there’s nothing but futility in trying to change someone that shines that brightly. I suppose it could have been the times…The character Bob was authentic, extremely talented, deeply sensitive, and knew who he was…. I think Rene did a spectacular job with this role. They both did. This is a film I will watch again. Many more times… If you watch, have Kleenex on hand. 😂 Thank you for uploading.
I don’t believe she did not love him at all. On the contrary, I believe she loved him very much. But she also respected herself enough not to subject herself to his verbal abuse and attacks. He was not willing or not able to commit to respecting her as she needed him to,and as he should have. She asked him to and he refused. I’m thankful that she did not become victim to his behavior.
It is so sad that back in those days, mental illnesses were not as widely known and diagnosed, let alone treated. He was brilliant and could have lived a long, happy, and productive life if his mental illness had been treated.
I'm not sure he was mentally ill, just terribly sensitive & in need of emotional support, which he was losing with his mother's impending death. If you read the actual timeline, his relationship with Novalene had ended before she left for college in Louisiana--she did not respond to his last letter. She also totally lacked understanding of the seriousness of his mother's illness (tuberculosis) and the angst he felt. Instead she harped on him about his moustache. I can't help thinking that with a more supportive woman by his side, he would not have ended his life.
@@almaburns6562 Agreed. Caretakers for terminally ill loved ones experience drastic amounts of stress and often get very little sleep. He's not the first caretaker to kill himself. Also, it's too easy to label someone (especially a man) mentally ill if he is emotional and/or creative. Writers often get flak for being crazy if they enact parts of their stories or work out the dialogue out loud as he did. Robert Howard was a complex person, deeply into philosophy but also action and exploration, living life to the fullest.
Underrated? RENEE won a GOLDEN GLOBE and OSCAR for her performance as JUDY GARLAND and D'ONOFRIO's movie list and successes counts higher than your age!! Including winning the Golden Space Needle Award for Best Actor Lone Star Film & Television Award for Best Actor 2nd - National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Actor for this very movie WORLD that he produced!
I just stumbled across this film this afternoon and wasn't sure right at first if I'd like it enough to see it through. But this is a wonderful story. So grateful to have found it, watched it, experienced it. It's a treasure. ❤
As a Hospice RN, was crushed to see Bob took the ultimate fall at the movie's end, taking his own life. I remember arriving at a death one time, the man had a tattoo on his upper arm, "Born to Die". I lamented greatly, for him and the lack of hope, love, and ultimately faith in God, that should give us all the ultimate reason to live. A life filled with the desire to love, serve others, and a deep knowledge of the purpose God created us for. May we all, foremost, share God's love and the Gospel message. I've seen it save the lost, and brought them from despair, and a true pit of hell on earth, to complete joy and a life worth living!! Pray, love, and live life to the fullest! "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!" Merry Christmas!!
Yes you are correct. The only everlasting hope is the one Jesus made possible and it shines like a diamond in this dark world. Even so come Lord Jesus.
I had no idea what this movie was about I just picked one. This has Vincent and paired with Renee which struck me as an odd pair to do a movie together. I watched the whole movie and still had no idea who these people were I thought it was just a movie. And then I paused on the letter and shed a tear I thought how tragic this love story has turned out to be. Then it was a true story so I had to go see what they look like in real life. 😮😮😮 I had no idea. Such a brilliant writer and so much to read and dig into so I'll be reading about them for a while. He took his life way too soon I can't imagine what our books would be and movies would be if he were still alive.
Sad how her family did not support her thoughts and feelings. He showed signs of abuse early on. His relationship with manipulative mom was weird with a narcissistic tendency.
I could not believe that this movie, being a true masterpiece, did not receive Oscar in every category possible, commencing with Renee and Vincent.. I do hope that I am misinformed. P. S. As far as I know, his mother is not accurately portraid, and it's a pitty. Robert was Autistic and relationships with his family was deeply complexed. But then and again, only someone like Vincent could bring it to us.
A true Life Story ..... how live can make you feel for a person and always carring these one in your Heart with you. Lovely Story and excellent played by all Actors, well done
Not only are the actors great in this, but I love the fact that it is based on a true story.
Every once in a while you run across a story that touches your soul, this one that brought forth so many emotions sadness, love, friendship and the love of his mother was deeper than any ocean. He had such passion in his stories fully embossed and sunken into the depths of his soul words flowing forth with desperation to the maximum of truth as he saw it.
I’ve admired Vincent D’Onofrio’s role as a detective in Criminal Intent. I think his and Renee’ s acting in this movie is superb.
You have got to be kidding.

Strange how life has changed since the 1930's. People had morals, honourability, and romance. I wish I lived in that era.
Somos vidas de esa época, atrapadas en esta 😂😂
Was thinking the same,so much moral value and humam dignity lost over the years....
We have been hitchhiking from womb to womb in various species for billions of years…very possible we have been living in that era as well….better to wake up from this waking dream life and exit this never endiig cycle of birth death rebirth…
There are still people who live those values.
ME TOO
Why have I never heard of this movie before? What a touching and sensitive story. A true story, a treasure.

She and Tom Hanks both bring a human element to the roles they play, that makes everything they play in touch you in some way. Its easy to mistakenly believe that some actors have a knack for picking great roles in great movies, when the truth is they MAKE them great.
This movies d the actors really were amazing. Touched me to the heart and helped me understand we do not walk this walk alone. So many people are alone in this life’s walk, however, inside each one of us there is someone who needs to be loved and appreciated.
"...inside each one of us there is someone who needs to be loved and appreciated." How I "survive" that big empty place at 77 is that I remember the loves I have known in the past and try to remember the words they shared as I do remember their kind actions.
And while I wish I had love in my life at this time I am grateful for the loves I have known, people who were kind and people who believed in me.

@@lindascott2008 your comment makes me not want to watch the movie, but I think I found this post just to read what you had to say, so I'll give them a like for you
This is the first time in a long time that a story brought tears to my eyes.😢 What a beautiful tribute Novalyne wrote for her amazing friend.
This movie cut into my heart terribly;It is my son my only son's story;He is a kind and gentle soul that fantasizes about how life is in his mind;Beautiful yet the majority of people cant see it;Being close to going home and leaving him is really tearing me apart because I feel that will be the one thing he cannot push himself through and will end his journey too soon;Lord praying you stay close to him and this won't be the way your story ends
Just the fact that you notice your son is this way makes you an amazing mom! That love will help him through. You will be the voice in his head guiding him through life.
Peace, to you and your son.
That's true love. God bless you and your son.
I am sorry but you know very well that your son probably lacks of Howard's talent. He is a normal person Who needs good and kind people sorrounding him. But even if he is a writer Will be like thousand of them
Howard only there was one.
You sound like the only talentless one here. You and your offspring I'm sorry to say@@barbaradenicomedia114
The fact that he really existed and the story ended the way it did , broke my heart , so many misunderstood , how sad .
I had no idea that D’Onofrio was such a good actor. Loved his performance, he made the character very believable.
You should see his performance in Full Metal Jacket.
@@almaburns6562 Thanks for the tip.🙂
Kingpin in Daredevil series..
Note: I have always liked D’Onofrio, especially in this Movie. He was fantastic as the Alien in “Men in Black”
@@almaburns6562 I never recognized him in Full Metal Jacket and was surprised when I recently learned that was him.
Vincent D'Onofrio is really one of the great actors of his age. There are so few that can compare to his acting talent.
💯
He's dull as can be.
@@pauljono8164 i know many people that would disagree with that statement. Me included.
I've always liked D'Onofrio but man in this SOUTHERN role, he's more HOT TIN ROOF than ever!!
How about Daniel Day Lewis in "Gangs of New York" and "There Will Be Blood", that is top notch incredible acting. Also Javier Bardem in "No Country For Old Men". I guarantee you that those 3 movies will reveal to you the best acting you have ever seen in your entire life.
Anyone else finding this gem in 2024???.all the reviews seem pretty good so here I. All alone on a Friday watching ... 🎉❤
My chest was aching with tears and emotions; of sadness, happiness, love, and in-depth feelings of extremes. Such a good story. Thank you for sharing.
A beautiful story of a man full of life, beauty, and contradictions. D'Onofrios acting is superb!
Both lead actors talents, along with the storyline made this one of the best films Iv'e ever seen. Vincent D'Onofrio is one of the most brilliant actors of his age. Many thanks for posting this amazing films.❤❤
I'm also soo happy, he was my favorite on the detective series. Great actor..Renée is also terrific!! She takes her time and picks some good ones.❤❤❤
Love this picture!!!
One of my favorite movies of all time. So deep, so beautiful and so emotional. Grateful to whoever uploaded it to RUclips. A film with soul that touches the heart.
I didn’t set out to watch this. The movie just came up on my YT page. Started up automatically, so I just let it run. Never heard of it either. Of course, I too cried at the end. You know sometimes love is so multi faceted, so complicated. The older I get, the more I just accept that love and loving just has its own compass. At least both Novalyn and Bob stayed true. Death comes to us all. Just as does love- however it manifests. I am so grateful for watching this movie performed by excellent actors. I am gonna look up her book. Writing it at 75 or 76? There’s still hope for me yet! 🙏🙏🙏
"Of course, I too cried at the end." 😂🤣
What a great film with superb acting by both Renee and Howard. I love watching a Texas gal play another Texas gal. We're so proud of you, Renee! You just get better with time!
Between 1990 and 2010 Hollywood put out the best movies! I don't know what has happened to them lately. Great movie! Thank you for posting it!
They went woke
I've really only seen one good movie since 2010. A Star is Born with B. Cooper and Gaga was one of them. So sick of Star Wars, Marvel, bad horror movies and the like. Today's movies are made to stupify people. However...I REALLY am looking forward to the new DiCaprio flick, Killers of the Flower Moon. I am willing to go to a theater and sit through all three and a half hours of it.
Hmm
Well, it's all planned out to control how and what people should think and feel. US is full of demonic killing and sex filled zombies....isn't that what Bob said..people want it!
Thought that myself recently; 90-2010 seemed to be the pinnacle. Now most movies are preachy and pushing a woke agenda instead of entertaining us with compelling characters/story lines.
Wow. Cried at the ending. Vincent Donofrio is an amazing actor.
His acting was amazing in this show I had never heard of before. Rene was perfect as she always has been. Amazing scenes between them, perfect chemistry.
I watched this movie over 10 years ago, and loved it. So glad i found it here. It brought tears...
I had no idea what this movie was about, just started watching. As I see it, it's a brilliant story of love, acceptance or no acceptance, conformity and non conformity and following your heart. The lady at the end was an angel sent by Bob for Novalyn. 100% recommend!
What a beautiful film about beauty, friendship and innocent love which turnes life and death in immortal poetry.Thank You.
Two of my favorite actors. So well respected. They played it well.❤. Such a sad ending.
Thank you RUclips for giving us this tender, beautifully acted tale of friendship and a special kind of love which if you are lucky, may occur in your lifetime between ywo souls connected and magically entangled.
What a Movie! They still make movies like they used to, this one proves it these two have NEVER made a bad movie. Thank you so❤
AT the end I realized why it felt so real. The characters were like real life people fleshed out and round. In fact, they were. It was an amazing film, it shows that life is the best story teller and real people are more exciting many times than fictional ones. Thank you. Kudos for both actors, it was amazing. Of course, from Renée Zellweger this is what one expects. Thank you. I was touched I was moved I was really absorbed in their life story.
Robert E. Howard was indeed a real person and a real writer, he is often compared to J. R. R. Tolkien as one of the fathers of modern fantasy. the Conan character who is mentioned several times throughout the film is the basis for the 1982 film Conan the Barberian, staring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
@@matthewsuchomski2593 Yes, I thought immediately to Schwarzenegger's Conan.
D'Onofrio never disappoints when portraying psychologically complex characters. I first became interested in him when he played the part of the Criminal Intent detective Robert Goren. He has a certain je ne sais quoi that never fails.
Agree. Later, I realized i had seen in movies and didn’t make the connection. I watched those movies in awe of how he was so different. My hubby and I enjoyed his depiction of detective Goren a lot. ❤❤
And. He's awfully cute.😂
Have you seen his performance in Full Metal Jacket?
How right you are! I loved him as “Bobby”!
Not to forget that he played that roach creature in Men In Black... But the first time I saw him was Adventures in Babysitting. The kids thought he was Thor 😂❤
I saw this movie about 12 years ago and had a vague memory of it, all I recalled was the superb acting (Rene and Vincent) and I knew it was a magnificent story. I was so glad I found it tonight!! what a treat!!!!!!
Vincent D’Onofrio’s acting is superb!!!
Two Gun Bob Howard is my all time favorite author. It's nice that a movie about him was made. Now if someone would make a Conan movie about the actual character he created that would be even better.
Conan the Barbarian with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 80s.
@@DS-nv8bi great film! but it's basically about an original character, Howard's Conan was very different.
This movie tears at my heart, it’s so beautiful and so sad. I walked that path and 20 years after he took his own life, he is the love of my life and the worst pain I have endured.
This movie came across my path for a reason. I have taken note of the message and thank God it's not too late.
Your comment has made me cry. Thank you for putting everything into order and I have the same predicament that when I'm gone what's going to happen to my son
This is a beautifully made movie. It rings of truth and that one should always remember and hold dear the loves we have had in our life.
6+18-23
I have wanted to see this movie for years, and I'm so glad I watched it tonight. What an incredible story! A beautiful story about a very complex young man who lived life on his own terms. In spite of his difficulties in life and his flaws, deep down he had a beautiful spirit. Novalyne is/ was (?) clearly an amazing person to have seen beyond the rough edges, and appreciate and love Bob for who he was.
This movie really touched my heart, and I only wish Hollywood would produce more quality films like this. Many thanks to the person who posted this!
24 or...1 ?
I've always have loved being mezmerizd by watching Vincent's acting but THIS was most brilliant and exceptional. Both leads are incredibly their best together. So glad I got to see this movie. Unforgettable!!!
Good movie. I love intelligent dialog, there is so little of it these days. Renee is terrific and Vincent D’Onofrio is great. There was a moment he went a bit Private Pyle/Full Metal Jacket - he should have gotten a best supporting actor Oscar for that role.
Yes a real lack today of any. Intelligent or meaningful conversation.
A memorable film. D'Onofrio's performance was stellar.
Always!
@@gaylehudson7267indeed ❤ I love him 😍
What an absolute privilege to have seen this most beautiful film , everything about it was incredible, the acting , the locations, the direction everything just perfection . I’m so sorry Robert took his own life , so sorry for his lost chance of love with Novaylyn , He was different but so unique .. Absolutely overjoyed I found this .. Thank you for posting it .
What an amazing movie! I didn't know it was based off a true story until the movie was over. I do wish it coulda been longer. I liked it so much that I went and did some online research to see pictures of the actual people.
They were in love, but there lives and differences about each other didn't allow them to even dare to have or enjoy a dating relationship let alone get married. I give this movie two thumbs 👍👍 up! ❤
Thanks so much to the soul that did the hard work and uploaded it for us all too see.
I KNEW THE FIRST 12 mins that it was a true story.
I guessed by their names even I never heard of them, I knew they were not fakes names
Crystal, stay in school and pay particular attention in English classes. Your spelling, grammar and syntax need improvement. Things are “based on” reality, not based off it. Their and there sound alike, but have totally different meanings. Learn the difference between “to” and “too”. Again, homonyms, but with very different meanings and functions in a sentence.
@@judeirwin2222 Only GOD can teach me. I need not your opinion of how This Kingdom Queen speaks or TyPes for That MatTer... Merry Christmas and HapPy kNew Year, sir/ma'am 🎈🎉☺️😃
you can find them doing a google search...the casting was great judging by the photos!
Damn . . . Vincent D'Onofrio is one hell of an actor!!!!!!
I totally agree! Here’s a fun bit if trivia for you… he had a pretty great part as “Edgar”the farmer in the original “Men In Black” movie ! Thats the first role I remember seeing just how much of a talented actor he is! And his role on “Law and Order (for years!) made me a diehard fan for life! He is excellent!
Awesome 💯 movie
This is one of the best movies I've seen since the notebook. I couldn't stop watching it for a second. Great acting and the greatest story with the best of the best actors. Stellar movie! ❤
You might like Genius... starring Colin Firth & Jude Law. I enjoyed it, like this very poignant & moving to the soul.
At first, I thought it was boring but then it became one of my favorite stories. The ending made me cry a lot. I love how Howard shows honor and love for his mother. He may sound rude sometimes but if you delve in to the situation he's in, you'll gonna be amaze of his character.
As the movie was coming to a close, I wanted to know the ending before it played out on my screen. I think the movie followed the biography pretty well. Naturally one has to cram as much into a nearly 2 hour script as a writer can, but the screenwriter managed to succeed in telling the story of the relationship between Bob and Novalyne. I wish I could have met her. She's a person I would have enjoyed knowing. I've known many authors in my lifetime, but Robert E. Howard inspired my brothers as boys and still do to this day. But it's Novalyne who inspires me.
Bob, born in 1906, never lived passed 30.
Renee Zellweger was able to impart so well the character of Novalyne…a strong willed sensitive woman who believed in her own worth …a relationship that brought so much joy and great sadness…a movie with many messages..mainly judgement of those who just don’t get it.
Vincent & Reenee did a great job. They always put themselves in the place of who they portray. Every emotion to be felt & shared is in this movie. It opens our heart & lifts our spirit & converges in our soul. I love this movie because it opens our minds to the way others sees things, we may not be able to see. Much less focus on. Vincent always does a great job regardless of who he plays. His depth of emotions stirs us so we may open our eyes, heart & mind to value what's before us. I felt every emotion one can feel when watching movies like this. It was directed & produced perfectly. Thank you for posting this amazing/reality style movie. It's sad he took his life & left this world w/out completing his writings & prose.
Just because someone has a different outlook on life, & what they believe it should be, doesn't mean it isn't real. Life takes us on an amazing journey as different people come into our life no matter how long it is. I cried off & on throughout this movie. It touched my heart & made me thankful for who I am & how much being in love w/the right person makes a difference. I'm happier than I've ever been since a very special, amazing man came into my life. We're deeply in love. We have a spiritual connection a lot of couples do not have. I compose poetry & people love reading & receiving it. Have an amazing journey & a blessed day. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers. God blessed is w/the gift to give life. It is an honor to be able to bear children w/a man you love.
So amazing and well said every word you wrote!
How incredible it is when a person views the world with Love instead of Cynicism ❤
Lovely, It made a grown man of 60, cry.
Very beautifully perceived and written comment. I can relate to finding the love of your life and like in this movie recognizing, accepting, and loving the unique differences and quirkiness in each other. I was in a very traumatic, loveless marriage for twenty five years and when it was over I was absolutely not looking for anyone and wanted to just finish raising my fifteen year old twin daughters. When out of nowhere this bigger than life West Texas rancher who looked and sounded exactly like John Wayne came into our lives and embraced us all with more love and protection than I had ever realized. He was a total alpha male who had been cattle ranching, riding, roping, building, fixing anything, hunting, a total man’s man that could do anything and yet has the most gentle, generous, sweet soul and loved literature, and is also a very good poet. He wrote and recited wonderful poetry. My whole family has been blessed with this incredible person and although I did not actually bear a child with him we raised one of my twin daughter’s baby girl when my daughter became pregnant at 16. My husband and my hero, even though I’m many years younger than he, has seen me through one advanced stage 4 cancer and never left my side and took incredible care of not only me but our three year old adopted granddaughter at the time, and now eight years later after being cured of the first cancer I am once again battling my second stage 4 cancer, this time I have to stay five hours away from my beloved husband because we live in a very remote area of west Texas and I’m undergoing more treatment and the separation is the hardest part of it all. Someday soon I dream of being able to go back home so we can once again be together again. Thank you for sharing your sensitive and very perceptive insights. Many blessings to you !
Beautifully written. ❤
What a lovely and inciteful perception of this movie. I have seen it and and don’t remember it being so touching and I’m usually more in tune. Now I’m going to watch it again since reading your comment! Thanks.
Extremely well written and captivating movie. Great acting and heartfelt story, it a shame there isn’t more movies like this. ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful love story! What else can I say that was not said in the movie. One has to experience it in order to try and understand why did it have to end this way. Love is the treasure at the end of the rainbow that all of us seek and few ever find.
Rene is one of our most gifted actresses ❤
She is a treasure for her many wonderful films !! They express life so profoundly ❤
A profound film, about two wondrous Souls bound beyond earthly connection - excellent actors, both perfect in their own right. What an honour to catch a glimpse of the true story and feel a tiny bit of their stunning bond.
Love this amazing movie😢, we can’t change people, we just have to change the way we react, accept and see.
It is simply astonishing how prolific a writer REH was with only living to 30 years of age 😢 I’ve read all the yarns that he spun !
She was the opposite of the real woman who had grace and humility.
@@catherinemagee-l3x You knew Novalyne?
I was deeply impressed by the acting of Vincent D'Onofrio. And last but not least Renee Zellweger. Fantastic movie and acting. Deeply touched by this.
Extraordinary, everything about it, the story, the actors, the filming..... just wonderful
A very sad story….
Beautiful soundtrack…
Excellent stars ✨
We miss so much in this life and we love the wrong people…❤
This may be the greatest movie ever made. Can't get better. Vincent D'Onofrio, Mr. Cimmerian.
One of my favorite movies. Love Vincent's chuckling laughter and accent throughout. Both actors are perfectly balanced against each other. Dialogue and his loud outbursts are priceless and funny at once. L❤
What a lovely, lovely, bittersweet movie, and then finding it was real made it exponentially better… ♥️
My first time seeing this movie but not the first time seeing Mr D’Ornofrio or Miss Renee Zellweger act and I have to say that they never disappoint. I really believed that they were the characters that they played until I learned that the story was not fiction but real. I like others who made comments found out at the end of this movie. Wow! So powerful and beautifully written. I was so moved to tears. This was for me by far an absolute masterpiece ❤
Fantastic movie with such a sad end. The acting was terrific and beautiful, thank you all for this wonderful story.
Great movie. Vincent and Renee have the chemistry needed to. Are this film come alive. Bravo!
A deep love story, which has an abiding nature to it. It has been said that love is patient, and kind. And so it is.
I watched this movie 4 times straight ; and I am going to watch it more., thank you miss price for sharing this incredible life story of a romance that failed ; but it was a success for us. thank you Bob Howard for your courage and love for people you really showed it, but you thought you hid it. you are truly a man of great substance and have outstanding qualifications .....you never knew just how great you really were . ! I am a fan of you both. Texas was blessed to have you two in the state at the same time. I believe GOD had his hands on their typewriters !
Lovely miss zellweigar! Great actress and singer,, pure talent and fortunate beauty. I always appreciate her talent.
RZ chooses rich roles with depth of character. This movie masterfully demonstrates how to maintain challenging relationships with healthy boundaries and get the best out of them.
This is a very good movie, one that I don't forget even years later. The story itself is unforgettable. What a visionary writer gone too soon. I do believe if Price had not left he would have strength to live on. She promised to write once she settled in but she didn't. Two women he loved and were emotionally attached to were gone. He might have looked tough and barbarous but he was very insecure like a little child.
true
A fine romantic drama. I didn't know until the end that this is based on a true story. A movie beautifully made and beautifully acted. Thank you for the upload!
This movie was so beautifully done! It also taught me who the originating author to the Conan stories were. I can even feel Bob’s essence in the Conan movie....
This movie was so good and I had never heard of it, although i love both actors. Very enjoyable yet food for thought regarding life situations. Then seeing that it is based on true story AND this woman was 76 when she wrote this?! Quite extraordinary 🌅
miss potter, quite extraordinary
A cinematic success….always love Renee and Vincent. The story was a sad and happy one.
I just had the pleasure of being entertained for "2" hours by two extraordinary and charismatic actors who brought magic, joy and sadness - and made me cry. A++
Wonderful movie. And how inspiring she was in her 70s when she wrote her story. I really enjoyed this. Thank you for making available.

By watching this movie I'm not getting that I personally do not care for his rude downgrading narcissist behavior
@@Kittyheavenwith21catsIt's obvious he was mentally troubled, but in his core, he was a kind man who couldn't take the loss of his mother. Novalyne was able to see past his troubled mind and loved him. You're acting like Novalyne's friend in the beginning of the movie.
The best writers live their stories. This movie has inspired me to pick up writing again. I have much to write about. Thank you for bringing this story to the screen and youtube..my little screen on my computer desk.
You Will create a character like Conan? WoW then do it!!! Pls!
.......and even though you won't see him for a while Is he still your friend?....
True love has no end
I really loved the story. The film is excellent, the actors play very well.
Thank you very much.
At the end of the movie, on the bus, for the first time a sunRISE is mentioned to Novalyne Price (Renée) , not all the sunSETS that many scenes had shown and words about them had been uttered. The storyline was so deep, so out of the ordinary that quite early during the movie I felt that A REAL WRITER must have been involved in pouring out all those emotions on us, the viewers. The end of the movie reveals the truth. I'm so glad to have seen it. It was the kind of a sad joy. / Superb acting, especially that of Mr. D'Onofrio.
Only 20 minutes in but Wow! to D'Onofrio already! Had only seen him on L & O before this, had no idea of his talent! Cool! Already knew Renee was wonderful of course, always a delight ❤
What a very moving story, I am happy that I ran across it. Excellent acting from everyone involved. Truly sorrowful ending.
I really loved this movie
Who ever matched up Rene and Vincent was brilliant
Bravo❤
beautiful beautiful movie and that last few seconds with stranger old lady summed up everything so heartbreakingly poetic...
I will watch anything with Rene Z in it, I thought that I saw them all until this morning!
Belinda I am in agreement with you on the subject of Rene Z…
Brenda, I'm happy that you feel the same. Renee is just too cute, and I love her acting!
@@brendabrown7130 She never disappoints!
I very seldom do this but I feel compelled just to say something I feel its like a spiritual experience its if I have just had an epiphany. Spellbound from start to finish, the story portrayal, the acting, casting, sets, creativeness at its complete pinacle 'Wow' thank you .
I love this film. Being a bit of a misfit myself, I fell in love with the character Robert Howard immediately. Rene’s character really broke my heart because she couldn’t see the man apparently until she grew old. What people think is not something one should concern themselves about, and there’s nothing but futility in trying to change someone that shines that brightly. I suppose it could have been the times…The character Bob was authentic, extremely talented, deeply sensitive, and knew who he was…. I think Rene did a spectacular job with this role. They both did. This is a film I will watch again. Many more times… If you watch, have Kleenex on hand. 😂 Thank you for uploading.
I don’t believe she did not love him at all. On the contrary, I believe she loved him very much. But she also respected herself enough not to subject herself to his verbal abuse and attacks. He was not willing or not able to commit to respecting her as she needed him to,and as he should have. She asked him to and he refused. I’m thankful that she did not become victim to his behavior.
Wow what an amazing story 😢glad I didn’t go by the negative comments would definitely watch again and again…some movies just have that affect ❤
I’m surprised that I liked this story and film so much. The actors are so believable. And I cried at the end.
It is so sad that back in those days, mental illnesses were not as widely known and diagnosed, let alone treated. He was brilliant and could have lived a long, happy, and productive life if his mental illness had been treated.
I'm not sure he was mentally ill, just terribly sensitive & in need of emotional support, which he was losing with his mother's impending death. If you read the actual timeline, his relationship with Novalene had ended before she left for college in Louisiana--she did not respond to his last letter. She also totally lacked understanding of the seriousness of his mother's illness (tuberculosis) and the angst he felt. Instead she harped on him about his moustache. I can't help thinking that with a more supportive woman by his side, he would not have ended his life.
@@almaburns6562 Agreed. Caretakers for terminally ill loved ones experience drastic amounts of stress and often get very little sleep. He's not the first caretaker to kill himself. Also, it's too easy to label someone (especially a man) mentally ill if he is emotional and/or creative. Writers often get flak for being crazy if they enact parts of their stories or work out the dialogue out loud as he did. Robert Howard was a complex person, deeply into philosophy but also action and exploration, living life to the fullest.
Was he an autist?
I believe he certainly had autistic traits.
@@almaburns6562 exactly that is true.
I'd never heard of this film but its well worth watching, beautifully acted and just a lovely story, in tears at the end.
Okay. I have to admit I didn’t expect both of these underrated actors to be as exceptional as they are. Great performances from both of them.
Underrated? RENEE won a GOLDEN GLOBE and OSCAR for her performance as JUDY GARLAND and D'ONOFRIO's movie list and successes counts higher than your age!! Including winning the Golden Space Needle Award for Best Actor
Lone Star Film & Television Award for Best Actor
2nd - National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Actor for this very movie WORLD that he produced!
Both Zellweger & D'Onofrio are far from underrated.
Both brilliant…perfectly matched…giving to each other a benchmark that blew this movie out of the water..
@@MsElke11 I agree. Underrated, ha, they're just uninformed, lol!
underrated is such an overrated word.
I just stumbled across this film this afternoon and wasn't sure right at first if I'd like it enough to see it through. But this is a wonderful story. So grateful to have found it, watched it, experienced it. It's a treasure. ❤
As a Hospice RN, was crushed to see Bob took the ultimate fall at the movie's end, taking his own life. I remember arriving at a death one time, the man had a tattoo on his upper arm, "Born to Die". I lamented greatly, for him and the lack of hope, love, and ultimately faith in God, that should give us all the ultimate reason to live. A life filled with the desire to love, serve others, and a deep knowledge of the purpose God created us for. May we all, foremost, share God's love and the Gospel message. I've seen it save the lost, and brought them from despair, and a true pit of hell on earth, to complete joy and a life worth living!! Pray, love, and live life to the fullest! "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!"
Merry Christmas!!
Yes you are correct. The only everlasting hope is the one Jesus made possible and it shines like a diamond in this dark world. Even so come Lord Jesus.

One of the best movies I had the chance to enjoy!!!! Superb acting by both!!! ❤❤❤❤
Fabulous acting. I am enriched by having seen this story. Especially after learning it is based on true experiences. Such depth of feeling. Bravo!
I had no idea what this movie was about I just picked one. This has Vincent and paired with Renee which struck me as an odd pair to do a movie together.
I watched the whole movie and still had no idea who these people were I thought it was just a movie.
And then I paused on the letter and shed a tear I thought how tragic this love story has turned out to be.
Then it was a true story so I had to go see what they look like in real life. 😮😮😮 I had no idea.
Such a brilliant writer and so much to read and dig into so I'll be reading about them for a while.
He took his life way too soon I can't imagine what our books would be and movies would be if he were still alive.
It is Robert E. Howard, and he was a genius.
Beautiful harvest moon . A noticeable full moon. I know something is up when you see this in a movie! Is he still your friend? He sent her a angel.
Sad how her family did not support her thoughts and feelings. He showed signs of abuse early on. His relationship with manipulative mom was weird with a narcissistic tendency.
I could not believe that this movie, being a true masterpiece, did not receive Oscar in every category possible, commencing with Renee and Vincent..
I do hope that I am misinformed.
P. S. As far as I know, his mother is not accurately portraid, and it's a pitty. Robert was Autistic and relationships with his family was deeply complexed.
But then and again, only someone like Vincent could bring it to us.
That's my assessment - autism. I never heard of the man though.
A true Life Story ..... how live can make you feel for a person and always carring these one in your Heart with you. Lovely Story and excellent played by all Actors, well done
