girlfriday's tags:
i saw a movie today with my son and niece. the scenes in the first half look like they have been secretly picked from my home.the dialogues are exactly what transpires in my household.the chemistry between the mother and her husband exactly same,the look she gives when she feels that the father is being too harsh on the child,but is unable to do anything about it,or rather is helpless...whatever .....i dont know how much sense this is making , but the scenes are so close to our reality that i am left completely dumb founded!this film has given me new perspective to bring up my child . what i thought i was doing wrong earlier with him,the film has reiterated that fact...and  believe you me... i am so ashamed of myself. the emotions depicted by the actor as a mom are so real ,that i was feeling each and every one of those emotions with her. when she cried,felt incredulous,missed him,felt proud of him,tried her best to be the best mom in the world,the best wife who gave up her career to appease hubby and kids,i felt all of those too ....i applaud her and the rest of the team to have come up with such a gem...as the film...and shown me a mirror image...so that i might correct some of the mistakes i have made along the way as a mom and make an effort to be a better mother !!!thanks. has anybody felt so close to any film before? has anybody's life changed even a teeny-weeny bit after seeing something on the screen? how do we deal with this? will i resume back to my old mistakes once the initial euphoria and awe dies  and i get on with life-as-usual?? anybody listening? how do i sustain my belief to change myself a little,so that i lead a better life and in consequense my family does too??any answers??

    I can't think of any movie that's impacted me like that.  What movie was it, by the way?

    it's been a little while, girlfriday!

    what movie was it?

    you know, i don't think i know a single parent who doesn't have regrets in the job they've done. not one. and i know some pretty damned good parents. :>

    so maybe you should give yourself a bit of a break here?



    as to movies that changed my life: dead poets society. the lesson of seizing the day is one that i find myself still struggling with now and it's been a good 20-some years since i saw it.

    can we know the name of the movie?

    yes i've been affected like that when watching movies. a lot actually. I find that they can reflect a lot in our lives if you are open enough or self reflective enough to take notice.

This is a GOOD one! I still can't believe this one myself........
because i'm fat......
One of my friends at work was telling me about this date she went on the other night, and she wanted a man's opinion about the whole thing. I was more than happy to tell her what I thought, but I am curious what other people might think too....
