I saw the movie Johnny Belinda and I was so moved. I saw the 1948 version of the movie. It featured a small town off the east of Canada. Old movies can be such hidden gems.

The movie showed me how we can overlook people based on what preconceived notions we have set in place about a person. It shows how a small town, though meaning well, can do more harm than good to it's most vulnerable members by indulging in gossip and stereotypes and forcing their way on others. If you you have ever seen this movie do you agree? Yes
