Folks you have to see this movie. I cannot recommend a film any more. This movie, which won the Academy Award for best foreign language film this year, is powerful, emotionally challenging.....It's a redemption story really....hard to watch in some spots but ultimately empowering.
The film really made me think. It shows that regardless of the scars we may have from our childhood or upbringing...regardless of the tough times we have in our lives and how bruised they may have left us emotionally and spiritually.....we can begin the process of healing ourselves through caring for and being there for others...
This movie definately goes in the all time favorites category...
About Me
- Dredlockesq
- Where do I begin....Formerly dredlocked, African American attorney, born in the coalfields of southern West Virginia, and after a long and at times crazy journey now living and working in New England. I strive each and every day to be a positive figure, to consistently better myself and to make a difference in this society. I am self-analytical, my own worst critic, fiercely independent and self-reliant, vocal and passionate, loyal and brutally honest. I pride myself on having a great deal of mental and emotional toughness and strength, forged through taking life's toughest blows and remaining standing. I wear my emotions on my sleeve, so what you see is what you get. I can be a walking paradox at times....both outgoing and withdrawn, people person and very private, social and shy, outgoing and reserved, depending on my mood. I love conversations about politics, religion, philosophy, psychology and social justice. I am incredibly opinionated. My confidence in myself and my views may come across as arrogance to some, but it's not.....i'm just very firm in my knowledge of self and my beliefs. I am very spiritual, with my faith in God being my bedrock and my foundation.
