By Robert Annibale More often than not, movies that are played on television rather than in movie theaters are rarely anticipated to be pleasing or
interesting, but every once in a while, I think there is a movie that stands out. A movie that catches everyone by surprise and keeps them interested in the plot is A Death in the Family.
Not only did
the movie keep me interested in the plot and the build-up of suspense, but it also touched me in a moral manner as well. It brought out the fact of how truly important family and friends are and how much they mean
to me. I began to put myself in the characters' shoes and wonder what I would do in that situation. That is why I believe it kept me so enthused and interested in it. I also wanted to find out how it
would end, how the family would cope with such a great tragedy.
In a way, I also learned something from this movie: that in a time of need or great despair, the people who comfort you are there, not just for the good
times but, more importantly, for the bad times. These people are your true friends and family. This fact was shown well in the movie, providing a positive outcome to a tragic event.
