Yesterday I went to see "The Namesake" about a man and his family basically . . he emigrated from India, married and brought over a wife, had 2 children who grew up American blend . . . always confusion in the blending of cultures. Sort of the way I feel sometimes having an Egyptian husband (but he isn't here and might not ever get here the way things are going . . . so I might not have to put up with cultural clashes with him after immigration). I read the book The Namesake a year or so ago and found it interesting. I think the movie was well done but being a movie they always have to leave a lot out. I laughed and I cried . . . human relations always cause both things to happen.
Today I think I will go see "First Snow" with Guy Pearce. http://movies2.nytimes.com/2007/03/23/movies/23snow.html?ref=movies
I recently saw part of an older movie that he did. This was while I was in Cairo, LOL!!! I saw this movie a few years ago and I barely remembered it, which I thought was funny. It is a difficult movie to follow, but should definitely be checked out . . . "Memento" http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v_id=220920
Afterwards, I think I will go buy some more plants for my garden, because the sun is shining and it says the world needs MORE FLOWERS!!!
