"Tuesdays with Morrie" is not a famous movie, but it is my favorite film. The movie is based in a true story. Also is based in a book that has the same name ''Tuesdays with Morrie", by Mitch Albom. It is a great story about a professor called Morrie Schwartz and his student, Mich Albom, who is the author of the book. This story about Morrie has touched my heart, I’m sure has touched the heart of every single person who has watched “Tuesdays with Morrie”, is also a reflection of my memories, a reflection of my life with my old professor. Mitch Albom started this movie with the words “The last class of my old professor’s life took place once a week, in his home. The class met on Tuesdays. No books were required. The subject was the meaning of life.” Morrie shared many thoughts with Mitch Albom; thoughts that could help people change their material beliefs for spiritual beliefs. He calls these thoughts his “final thesis.” Morrie saw life different from most other people. Philosophy of life is the principal theme in “Tuesdays with Morrie.” Many topics are mentioned in this movie, but some of the most important are about love, family, and emotions.

The story begins with Mitch who is an important sport reporter. Mitch had a professor, Morrie, who promised to keep in touch. Mitch with his busy life forgot to be in communication with his professor. One day Mitch was watching the TV when he saw to his old professor. Morrie was giving an interview to Tend Koppel. In the TV show program, Koppel related the life of Morrie Schwartz who was a philosophy teacher for about thirty years. Morrie who had a good reputation, and was an excellent person, had a mortal illness. Morrie had just a couple of months of life.

When Mitch knew about Morrie's illness through the TV show, he decided to visited Morrie, and he flew from Detroit to Massachusetts to see Morrie. After 16 years Morrie and Mitch met again. Morrie never forgot to Morrie, and his first reaction was gave a hug to Mitch. Mitch visited Morrie on Tuesday then he flew every Tuesday to visit to Morrie, and both together started talking about death, fear, aging, greed, marriage, family, society, forgiveness, and a meaningful life. Mitch wrote a book, "Tuesdays with Morrie", this was the last thesis of Morrie's life. The book is about Morrie's life and his thoughts.

In conclusion, this movie is an amazing story of love to the life. The story of a professor who changed the life of his student, and now it is changing the life of the people who have watched or read "Tuesdays with Morrie". To learn how to live, to learn how to accept the circumstances of life are the great lesson that Morrie Schwartz has taught indirectly to each person. Definitely it is the best movie I have ever watched not only for the wonderful love story, but also for the strong connection I felt with the author because I have a professor who has made a difference in my life.
