This one just had a really nice spiritual message about how important it is to nurture yourself. I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out. So I like that quality and I like that sort of Wonderful Life quality where she gets to see her life for what it was and go back and have another opportunity.

With women, I've got a long bamboo pole with a leather loop on the end. I slip the loop around their necks so they can't get away or come too close. Like catching snakes.

It also contains a nice spiritual message about how important it is to nurture yourself. Women are great at taking care of their husbands, kids and the dog. But they don't take a moment for themselves. I liked the 'It's a Wonderful Life' quality to this film where a woman gets to see how she helped everyone around her, but not herself.
