MayB, she's not taking very good care of herself. So, we may have to finish
up our unfinished business fairly quickly. We have been admonishing her to take better care of herself and we want a very long and dragged out film of her life.

I haven't seen the film but I have it on my "to rent" list--I think that I shall need to watch it, to see what my own perception is...I liked these two lines in your post: At the end of the film the central character throws away her medication. If only life were so simple.

Benzinha, all of these things do start to sound the same don't they.
So how long do you think your sister has given us?

May, everyone tells me to go see it, but I delete their invitations.
Like the syrupy emails full of prayers and superficial emotional manipulaton, I just can't do that anymore. Been there, seen that, felt that, resolved it and moved on, in my old age.
The theory is my sister's theory. We are all just actors in the movie of her life and when she dies, poof, the movie ends and we are all gone, just like her. Whatever floats a person's boat, I say.

Ca88andra, there are plenty of people here who loved it. To me it just took a couple of ideas and then referred to them endlessly instead of really delving

hmm--
This is a pretty good review of the film. My wife loved Moulin Rouge. I hated it, primarily for the liberties it took with period music. Hemlocker

I've never heard of this film either! But, judging by your review, I don't feel much inclined to look for it.

Have you seen a movie called "Waking Life"?
The whole film is animated, but I thought about it the whole time I was reading this post. I've seen it several times, and would like to see it again. But it's definitely on the bizarre side -- not for everybody. It makes you think, though. The idea is 'all this' is just a dream.
