The Cider House Rules.

I just watched a really great movie called The Cider House Rules. It's a story about, Homer Wells (played by Toby McGuire from spiderman) and it's set back during world war two. Homer lives in an orphanage and finally decides to leave and gets a job working as an apple picker in Maine. The orphanage Homer left he was training to be a doctor. The doctor he was apprenticing under was the only qualified doctor who preformed abortions, illegally of course. Before Homer leaves, the doctor is hoping that Homer will take his place working in the orphanage, and being a doctor as well. But Homer has been at the orphanage for about 20 years, and decides he really needs to figure out what he wants to do with his life. While he works as an apple picker, the workers stay in a house called "The Cider House". During his stay there he experiences other migrant workers and makes friends, and discovers things about himself he didn't know, and makes other relationships. There are two twists that I won't tell you about, I really hope you will watch the movie, or either read the book by John Irving. It's really a wonderful movie, and I'm off to read the book now, cheers!
