Some suggest that a positive mood is good for the immune system. Maybe you could stick to happy films or children's movies like I do when I am sick.

I am sure the Mormons did their best to keep the film from getting too much attention, they are very conscious of what the public sees. That is why I was so happy to see it was on Youtube.

You are so right about gender stereotypes in the movies. Good guys kill for justice and bad guys kill for greed, but women in movies usually kill because they are weak, greedy or crazy.

Sarah Ramirez killed for defense, justice and retribution. The scene where the prophet had sent his obedient wives to kill Sarah even though they were worthless with a gun was layered. First their obedience to a crazy man, then calling Sarah a whore and bitch of Satan while trying to commit murder and finally Sarah allowing the young, unarmed female to run on home. It was a little contrived, but Noah Miller made it a point to have Sarah kill only in defense of herself or of others, like the child in the dressing room.
