i saw triple minority, it's

i saw triple minority, it's really good.  made me tear up in the end.  i also saw brooklyn's bridge to jordan... now i was at a loss for words with that one.  you really don't see this kind of family turmoil depicted with lesbian characters (in this light it makes you realize gay families are more normal than ever... and somebody should have punched that little nurse).  i saw sarang song and it was good, but it could have been better.
