Up the Sandbox (1972)
Housewife trying to cope with the "Is that all There is, Oh hell no" syndrome
Most say this film is out dated? Well perhaps it is due to history changing its self. It Depicts a unappreciated house wife whom has to explore the world of accomplishments and her inner thoughts from an active imagination and her fantasy, How many of us daydream of things we would love to do or say. This film is artistic and a very Streisand vehicle for the time. I love this film and watch it often. The underlying humor is classic, priceless and a captured moment of time , for that particular time frame. Some just didn't get it. Those whom did got more than a film but a look into the eyes of a happy but repressed woman that had hoped to achieve more in life than being JUST a wife and Mother. Not that this is bad , it is a gift for those that do it well and awards should be given. But for Margret. her, at times over active personality. needed more to fulfill her inner soul. She needed a break . she took one. Yet she returned to what was important. Family and Life.
A Good Woman (2004)
Blood is thicker than Champagne, Love can return to a lost heart.
One of the first truly entertaining films I have seen in a long time. I feel this is what true film making and entertainment should aspire to achieve. The performances were amazing and well directed. This film made me feel something in a heart I thought had become void of emotion. There are some unforgettable quotes throughout that I will never forget. The writing was brilliant. I didn't see it in the theater I bought the DVD not knowing what to expect. I sat and viewed it three times. I actually didn't want it to end. I became so attached to the characters. I want to know more of them. There were so many questions left unanswered. This is true in real life as well. I guess this was what caused me to get lost behind the closed doors in the Villas of Italy.
