I have not seen the movie, since I rarely do see a movie, but I have often wondered about Mother Teresa's heart of love that enabled her to serve those who had little or no hope. I believe it must have been the love of God that motivated her.

There are some folks who thought that it was not a "complex portrayal" of Mother Teresa. And in that, a bit of a "character"... (ie. no more than a stooped over woman). So you may not like it.

It's just that it touched me so deeply... to think of what she went through as she entered the slums as an outsider. It was just so amazing to me.

I've never been particularly fond of the way Hollywood tends to take real lives and build a character, as opposed to telling things accurately. It sounds like The Letters may well be the exception to that rule.

Your review speaks volumes. I was reminded of the hope I feel everyday despite the world turmoils after reading this review. When you said it's good to know that there are quietly strong generous humble women my heart filled. Mother Teresa remains this inspiration.

Now I'm looking forward to seeing "The Letters".

Sometimes it provides the spark to embrace all of life's difficulties with an air of thankfulness, and reminds us that what we perceive as problems (of gargantuan proportions) are really quite small in relation to the lives of others who have so much less.Olivia Morris https://www.blogger.com/profile/00711607646097689874noreply@blogger.com
