CNN on Saturday morning ran a story about Jon Bon Jovi’s
soul kitchen in Philadelphia with a “pay it forward” option for diners, and
sweat equity for the needy. It sounds
like a worth project for someone with the social initiative to set it up, CNN
story here.
That reminds me of the 2000 film “Pay It Forward”, from
Warner Brothers, directed by Mimi Leder, based on the novel by Catherine
Ryan-Hide.
A social studies teacher Eugene Sisomert played by Kevin
Spacey comes up with the idea to challenge his students, especially Trevor
McKinney (Trevor Joel Osment) to do something to make the world better.
Specifically the plan should really help people with things they can’t do for
themselves, but that requires them to extend cooperation with others.
The first beneficiaries include an alcoholic mother (Helen
Hunt) and a drug addict (James Cavaziel).
