weekend movie

I am a proud member of Netflix .... it's a window for me, to watch movies around the world and learn different cultures and life styles. Huge collection of 'instant play' section, so no waiting for the movie in the mail box, you don't even have to go out to get the DVD from mail box Super Huh! i know :)(who ever live in Cleveland they understand my winter blues) Friday night is our family movie night, four of us watch movie together, kids turn first and then us as a couple, before bed time and any thing interesting in netflix ( this is the plan but in reality we always don't end up watching couple movie though. we end up sleeping at the end of the kids movie). He watch movies for fun and i watch with passion as usual. my selections are kinda boring for him.

this weekend I watched Brick lane. based on Monica Ali's novel. i did not read the book, not yet, may be someday...books and movies are two different media and i decided to follow only one if the content is same. i read Namesake and i adore that book, but i don't like the movie may be because i am comparing too much with the book. so i decided choose only one, book or movie.

Immigrants are full of emotions, memories of birth place haunt you, literally haunt,  whispers of the childhood, struggle of fitting in new place, and you are the one and the only one relate to it, very personal  from person to person.

when i read the review of this movie, i thought Oh! one more movie on immigration and what's the difference they are going to show us, but from start to end it surprised me and i loved the movie. simply wonderful, heart warming and cerebral. It was a personal journey about human beings. every immigrant asks at least once themselves "where is my real home"? i personally feel home is where you found your freedom and awareness. Tannishtha Chatterjee is so talented and Sarah Gavron did a fabulous job.
