Film #93: REGARDING HENRY (1991)

This film was lovely as it was different to other films that Harrison Ford has done and I loved the idea of the film. However like all American films made in the 1990's there was a really cheesy ending to it. The film is based around Ford's character Henry Turner being in a shop robbery which results in him getting shot. As a result he end's up being in a coma and when he wakes up he has lost his memories and his abilities to do certain things like he did before, for example he has troubles reading and has to be taught how to again by his daughter. Although the plot twists that happen within the film is the more the audience finds out about the family's relationships and their relationships with others and so causes a stir. For me the thing that made this film so wonderful to watch was the performance of Bill Nunn as Bradley his carer when he's recovering, Bradley is such an uplifting character with a sparky energy to change the mood of the film so you don't feel terribly sad throughout the entirety of the film.
