SPOILER There is a very strong woman: Spike's mother. She went out on her own terms despite her illness, and in the most dignified way possible given the circumstances, I think. I respect her character and that speaks to how good the movie is. Very moving scene SPOILER
>>81693975 Right, I know. I just wanted to express that the movie does indeed have a strong woman, done in a proper, non-forced way that made me respect and sympathize with the character.
