Stop with the one star reviews!

Whoever is doing that stop. Powder is a great movie. I watch it all the time. I actually cried. It reminds me a lot like Edward Scissorhands sometimes but this is a lot better. It does come on TV once in awhile so watch it if you hadn't seen it.

Powder's Energy Makes It One Of The Best Films Around

I think this is a wonderful movie that can take one through many wonderful and upsetting emotions. I think it can give humanity the hope that somewhere inside all of us, we all have to some extent the "gift" that Powder has. Maybe one day, we'll all try and use "our energy" to the best of our ability just as Jesus Christ (whether you believe in him as God or not) is still trying to show us by his word; he had the faith that one day, we can all get in touch with our humanity to change the world if we would all only do it. I disagree with one person's view that the shower scene had an homosexual feel to it. I think it was related to Powder's longing to have his body look like the guy's body in the shower so he wouldn't have as hard of a time fitting in this world. I think there was an admiration on Powder's part, and in this instance, I think it's easy to misinterpret is and sexualize it. A beautiful film that says it all in a dramatic and even pace.

Something for my kids

I saw this movie when it first came out and my husband and I absolutely loved it. It was one of those movies where you felt like your life had been changed when you walk out of the movie theater. I've thought about it a couple times over the years, but figured I would probably never see it again. Well it happened to be on a movie channel tonight and I watched it again. It still had the same effect on me and my kids were really interested in it. Unfortunatley, I turned it on 35 minutes after it had started and the kids still had homework to do and showers to take. So I decided to check here to see if they sell it. They do and I bought it immediately! It is one movie I will LOVE to share with my kids. It is such a powerful movie with a powerful message that is still relevent today. I think it has a great message about how we treat people that are different. My kids are in high school and I think that this is something that will change the way they view people that may not have the same things (i.e. looks, advantages, etc. ) that they do.
