Correction: “walking” out on his speech.

Virginia I agree with you it is about power—that is why I would consider getting my power back by waliking out on his speech. It would slap him and so many others in the face without saying a word. What decision she makes after that is her own and based on her set of variables. And, resoundingly, “YES!” We as Americans should voice our opinion and MOVE ON. There are many more important issues to resolve.

A question: What if Silda (or any other woman in her place) stood behind her husband and walked out in the middle of his speech?

I have heard about this film. I love Julian Schnabel—a true artist. There are so many amazing caretakers out in the world caring for people who, also, show amazing courage. It inspires me to hear these stories of confronting fate and fear. The American culture should focus more on such powerful lives and less on the gossip and sensational. Thank you Candice for suggesting this movie. I am not a big movie fan—I do enjoy good movies. I do not allot much time/money to movie-watching as I find it difficult to sift through the good, the bad and the ridiculuos waste of time. This sounds like a movie I would enjoy.
