We are doing 'A Beautiful Mind' with Russel Crowe.
Focuses on not belonging and ties in good with Emily Dickinson :)

Um, beautiful mind...it's a great film by Ron Howard with Russel Crowe if I remember correctly.

But I am going with Rabbit-Proof Fence by Phillip Noyce.

Love that movie.

I suppose the main thing I think of is how the movie plays upon the idea of connection and people belonging together - think of the characters (sorry, can't remember their names) Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and August, they are all separated and in the end they are together once more.

Finding you belong with someone (or something, in the case of August and music) is what I think stands out to me.

I haven't seen it in awhile, so it's all pretty vague o_O
