Ok you guys have been writing alot and my computer has been taking a mega crap lately so I havn't had a chance to read it all. Let me give this the dumb up treatment here. 1st off - movies are desighned to play our emotions wether they be happy or sad. That is the idea, and movies can trigger things subcontious or otherwise as which seems to be the case with hearts in atlantis. (One question Steven King wrote this, why isn't it horror or have some really weird crap in it) Anyway HIA seems to tug at peoples feelings of back home, of friends, and loves that you never had the chance to close the book with. It isn't so much the movie but the personal experiences that people connect to a movie. 2nd life can be different for every person happiness can leave one's life or enter one's life at any age. This is the deal with Mika, in her movies she usually plays the person that needs help, Patriot family torn apart during war, Along came a spider - duh abducted by nutcase, HIA- Small things like when the bully picks on her, Blue Crush - Troubled teen. This attracts people who either subcontiously or not think that they want to help. (Now not everyone so don't go throwing that line) To top it all off she is pretty good looking to. Now this leaves alot of boys "in love with her" She is the damsal(sp) in distress and this is what leaves guys "in love" with her. They come here and post there little message asking her for e-mail, most realizing that she will never respond but it helps to say what you are feeling. So don't go bashing every boy that comes in here claiming to love her, they need to express themselves. Now certain messages should be taken off without a doubt like that one by what's his name. Now I know that they probably freek her out but i think she is smart enogh to realize that they just have a crush on her. They will get over it. They need a place to say what they feel and this is probably a good place because there are a ton of us who can help them in the right direction. I agree that everyone needs to respect her privacy but how does leaving a post asking her to e-mail you disrespect her privacy. They don't need a life if they post that, they just need to vent. It is foolish to think you are in love with someone you have never meet. You have a crush that is all there is to it and it will pass. And I don't like how you call everyone who claims to love her a stalker, they are not. Misguided, foolish, maybe and in most cases yes but not stalkers. They are just kids like you and me, only some of them havn't quite...well wised up. Basically you can't know if your right person for someone if you don't know that person and if they don't know you. max does make a good point, support her carreer as a fan and do respect her and the privacy of her friends, family, and of coarse her. Ya i am babbling on so I will just stop now.

way to go Shadow. You said what I was trying to say, in just one post.

Favorite Mika Movie all of them.
