Tuesday’s with Morrie is a movie about a professor named Morrie who has ALS, or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Mitch, one of Morrie’s former favorite students, reconnects with Morrie and records Morrie’s “Last Teachings of Life”.

It did make Mitch see things a little different, but in the end Mitch still did not understand spirituality. This movie taught me a lot. I really enjoyed a lot of Morrie’s quotes. My favorites were, “Once you learn to die, you learn how to live” and “Love each other or die” and “There is no such thing as ‘too late’ in life” (Forte & Jackson, 1999). The movie just goes on and on about how you should live life to the fullest and never take anything for granted. They talk about how love is so important to everyone, because without love there is not much to live for. It was a heart-tugging movie that makes you feel good
