Yesterday I watched the movie Yesterday's Children (2000), which was based on Jenny Cockell's book about a past life in Ireland. The book is entitled Yesterday's Children: The Search For My Family From The Past (1993). It's funny, I distinctly remember discussing her book in this forum in the early 2000's, but have no recollection at all of discussing the movie. I don't remember if I ever even saw the movie before yesterday. The parts where she is talking to her past life oldest son are so touching, though, I think I would have remembered seeing the film. Yet I do have a middle-age swiss cheese brain . . . .
The parts taking place in the United States were a bit overwrought at times, but it's still a worthwhile movie to watch, in my opinion. I remember mostly liking the book, but did not like her beliefs in progression. The film is currently at Amazon, but for only six more days. It's free with Prime or $1.99 to rent. Plus, you can buy it for $7.99, and there appears to be no US copies of the DVD, so that looks like the only way you can own it. I'd be interested to hear what others think of the film. Did anyone start believing in reincarnation after seeing it or after reading the book?
