<\/a>RUSH: I want to tell you about a movie I saw recently. I flew out to Las Vegas, I guess, when was it, last Friday — was it last Friday? Boy, I\u2019ll tell you, the time, the days are just running together. I think it was, it was last Friday, flew out, whenever it was, last Friday or two Fridays ago, flew out of Las Vegas, and I got a promotional copy of this movie that\u2019s in a small number of theaters right now, and it\u2019s just doing overwhelmingly well. It\u2019s called Bella. But it\u2019s strange. Well, not strange. We see stories continuously, ladies and gentlemen, about how Hollywood is not making its nut at the box office, that movies are just not selling. Here\u2019s one that is, and nobody\u2019s talking about it because it is about life. It\u2019s about abortion. It is about life and how there are alternatives to abortion with people who have ethics and morality. This is a movie that you don\u2019t see come out of Hollywood much because it reinforces the sanctity and the importance of the life issue. It\u2019s not preachy and it\u2019s built right into the plot, and the dialogue is not controversial in any way. <\/p>\n

These kinds of movies used to get made a long time ago, but not anymore. These are the kind of movies that the public would love to see. It\u2019s going to be opening, I think, in 30 more markets over the weekend. The way to contrast this would be Million Dollar Baby. Did you guys ever see that? I did not see Million Dollar Baby. I\u2019ve got it on my Kaleidescape system, but I haven\u2019t watched it, but I do know in that movie, Hilary Swank, the female boxer, becomes paralyzed, and asks her manager, Clint Eastwood, to help her end her life. There was an uproar over that because it seemed to glorify the courage of euthanasia. This is just the opposite. It takes a situation, a woman becoming impregnated, where in most cases in the country the first thought is, ‘Ah, I gotta abort. I didn\u2019t want this to happen.\u2019 Two people deal with this in a rational way. It\u2019s breaking box office records. There hasn\u2019t been a whole lot of screens. It hasn\u2019t been in a lot of markets, but where it has been playing, it\u2019s been breaking records. You probably haven\u2019t heard about it. The Drive-Bys are not writing about the movie — (interruption) Bella, yeah, Bella as in Bella Abzug. It\u2019ll soon be in the rental library at the Bay Haven Elementary school in Sarasota. <\/p>\n

It runs just a little under two hours, and it\u2019s not captioned, this was a promotion copy and I was listening to it on the airplane. I got most of the dialogue, but I\u2019m sure I missed some, but I got enough to understand how powerful the movie is. I remember when it started, ‘Oh, boy, this is awfully slow,\u2019 because it was raved about to me, and I said, ‘This is starting off a little slow here,\u2019 but for some reason I stuck with it, not because I knew what was coming, but just because I was compelled to stay with it. So if Bella is in your market and you are upset over fourth graders being taught about conscientious objectors on Veterans Day and that kind of stuff happening in the country, this is a movie that you\u2019ll like and you\u2019ll applaud and it will warm your heart. So keep a sharp eye out for it. I was frankly surprised. I really was. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
