Your Past Can Help Your Future
Stealing Home is a movie that I initially watched with a lot of skepticism. The title led me to believe that it at least involves some baseball, which it does, so I decided to give it a try. Also I was never a big Jodie Foster fan. Without ever having seen one of her movies I just assumed that they were all chick flicks. I now know that that is not the case.

Mark Harmon plays an ex-pro baseball player who has been given the responsibility of finding a final resting place for the ashes of his childhood baby sitter/friend/older crush who has committed suicide. That part is played by Jodie Foster. The movie is essentially Harmon's character remembering his childhood from the time he's about 13 to when he has to make a decision on whether or not to go to college or turn pro. These memories are shown to the viewer as Harmon is traveling back to his family's home in Philadelphia.

This is really a story about finding your way in life. I think it tries to show that no matter how lost you may feel in the present, there is always a future for you so long as your alive.

sad but happy beautiful movie
the story of a man named billy wyatte and how since his childhood, his childhood babysitter and life long best friend katie chandler has been the one person whos known what he is and has always been there to make sure hes reminded. they absentmindedly fall into their own livelyhoods and drift apart, katie into 2 failed marriages and billy into a short time in the minor leagues and then into a worthless life without much to live for. This is all suddenly changed when billy gets a phone call that katie was found dead from a suicide at the beach house theyd shared their memories at since they were kids. Billy is resposible for her ashes but to know what he should do with them hes going to have to go back to his memories to find katie again.

Ultimate Love Story
A love story that spans over many, many years. It's the love between lifelong friends, between an middle-aged married couple and between a young boy (Harmon) and a friend of the family/baby-sitter (Foster) which shows the many faces of love. It is funny, it is sad, it is bittersweet. Great soundtrack, too!

Reflection
The first time I watched this movie was in the early 90s and I was deeply touched. Enoughed that I realized after watching it recently that inadvertently a year ago I wrote a short story using the basic plot. I purchased the DVD after a long-time friend committed suicide and I was searching for answers regarding her death. I didn't get them, but the movie offered some comfort and made me continue to respect the beauty of life. If any art can help someone do that, then it's accomplished a lofty goal.

EXCELLENT MOVIE (i live in C.H.)
