The Blue Butterfly
“The only way to catch a miracle is to believe in it.”
I watched a wonderful movie the other night, The Blue Butterfly, a movie of hope, dreams, courage, passion and love. The nature photography from Costa Rica was stunning! For anyone who needs some inspiration and hope in their life.
“Inspired by a true story, The Blue Butterfly is about ten year-old Pete Carlton (Marc Donato) who is diagnosed as terminally ill and his determined mother will stop at nothing to ensure her son’s dream. Funny and intelligent, yet somewhat shy, Pete is stoic and incredibly courageous when it comes to his condition. He seeks refuge by observing the miniature world of cocoons and insects that he collects. Given only months to live, Pete has one wish; to catch the most beautiful butterfly on earth, the legendary Blue Morpho…the Mariposa Azul, a magnificent creature found only in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America. He is convinced that this butterfly with the azure wings can reveal the mystery of life to him.”
Starring Academy Award winner William Hurt, Pascale Bussières, Marc Donato
