Try reading it for once.\nOr just get the movie, remember it is a play and visuals are important for understanding the entire thing.

It is an allegorical story that explains complex issues in the book of Romans--especially the "law of sin and death" and how it requies a death to be appeased. Not too many people know this, but Les Miserables makes the same allegorical explanation.\n\nI found them to be a great read and an excellent movie. I agree, it is a great introduction of the gospel message to kids. (my kids love the movie and know what the meaning is to each character)\n\nI would also suggest renting the movie "Shadowlands". There is a small part of the movie where Lewis and his collegues argue about the books.\n\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108101/

Movies with that theme derive the story from Romeo and Juliet. Remember Shakespeare wrote the play first.

I'm not sure there is a message that can be summed up in a few words.  Donnie seems to be psychotic, but ends up saving the universe.  He is chosen by a higher power to save it and is given superhuman powers to be able to do so.  He is guided by someone whose death he causes in the tangent universe.\n\nMaybe the message is that we're all crazy, or maybe nobody is.\n\nI think it was just a really fantastic movie by really smart people who wanted to make us think.

I'm pretty sure it's not from Gone With the Wind. \n\nI can't seem to find any reference to it being a quote from a film. If it is a quote from somewhere then it's not easy one to find.

I've seen it in a chain letter before. Not sure about a movie. Here's the whole thing I've read:\n\nThe way their tears make you want to change the world so that it doesn't hurt her anymore.....Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them ... it matters not. Because once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become everything to you. When you look them in the eye, traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without trace of a sound,you know that your own life is inevitable consumed within the rhythmic beatings of her very heart. We love them for a million reasons, No words would do it justice. It is a thing not of the mind but of the heart.

There are SO MANY examples, but I will give a few to get you started. If you are unfamiliar with these works just Google or Wikipedia the titles. Not all are allusions, some are just manifestations of the themes present in these literary works.\n\nI will start with the most obvious:\n\nPygmalion (the myth)\nPygmalion (the play by George Bernard Shaw)\n\nI not sure how old you are, but the more recent adaptations of the above works would be the movie She's All That and possibly Ice Princess?(entertainment).\n\nIn advertising, they are always trying to sell you a cosmetic product that will significantly transform you from the "ugly duckling" into the "beautiful swan" .\n\nShakespeare:\n\nRomeo and Juliet --- I am sure you can find the most recent example since West Side Story and Romeo Must Die (sigh).\n\nHenry IV: Parts I and II: \n(sorry I forgot to add Henry V as well)\n\nYou see the transformation of Prince Hal from a slacker to a noble leader (Henry V), when he ascends the monarchy and makes poignant adult decisions (such as executing one of his former slacker friends for treason when he is king)\n\nModern rendition (Entertainment): It is not that recent, but The Godfather II where Michael Corleone undergoes a similar transformation (albeit in a perverted way) as he becomes the next don of the mafia. He orders the mafia to kill his brother Fredo once he discovers that he betrayed his trust as well as a friend of the family (his character was played by Robert DuVall).\n\nThe Bluest Eye (Toni Morrison)\n\nThere are so many themes in this book, but the most poignant would be the self-esteem of Pecola Breedlove and the projections of images regarding color and class in her community.\n\nModern rendition (Advertising): From beauty and fitness magazines to the celebrity culture that saturate our society, we are subliminally conditioned to look a certain way in order to be desirable and loved.\n\nLike I said, so many examples. Most of the action flicks with a tormented character are versions of epic Greek and Roman poetry (Odyssey, Iliad, Aeneid).\n\nBusiness allusions are usually the vignettes and novels of Horatio Alger (i.e. rags to riches, pull yourself up by your bootstraps). \n\nMark Twain is another author whose works have been referenced, most notably in entertainment, The Prince and the Pauper and A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Once your read the plot summaries, then you know what I am talking about.\n\nBut as I stated, look through classic and modern literature of different time periods. Here some suggestions:\n\nGreek tragedies and epic poetry\nVictorian Age of British Literature (esp. Charles Dickens)\nRussian plays and novels (Chekov and Dostoevsky)\nPoems, short stories, and novels of the Harlem Renaissance (Hughes, McKay, Wright (esp. Native Son))\nFables (Aesop), "fairy tales" (Andersen, Grimm Brothers, etc.).\n\nHope that helps!! Good Luck!

there are no pirates but you should definitely see it because it has a compelling plot as well as an interesting message; it's like the matrix because it's sort of an action movie but it also hits you on a more intellectual level.

From Shakespeare:\n\nA thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.\n\nBeggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks, but I thank you; and sure, dear friends, my thanks are too dear a halfpenny.

I think it's "Shakespeare in Love", with Gwyneth Paltrow...the movie she won an Oscar for. \n\nCheck it out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138097/

Are you refering to the first?  I personally thought it was a great movie.  Parts of it were kinda boring, but I loved the ending.  I think what I liked the most though was the moral message behind the movie.

read the book seen the movie, both are great, though book is by far better. \n\nthe moral is knowing to stand up for ones who can't stand up to them themselves. \n\nhope it helps!
