So I watched Kramer vs. Kramer on youtube today...

I have to say that Dustin Hoffman was pretty damn good. Streep was kinda faded out by the movie (which is why she got an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress).

As you probably know, I am a HUGE Streep fan but fortunately, I am surely not alone.

I do think it was a forward looking film. It was an honest portrayal of a woman very conflicted about her life choices coupled with her love for her child. That last scene was another heartbreaker.

I truly don't know how a woman can give up her child. I know i would never do that, but I tried very hard to understand how she could. And I love movies that pose such questions...

I almost ran out of the movie theatre during that scene with her having to give up her little girl.

Streep can KILL me in any movies she makes...
