In her Shoes

PS: I know it's weird!!Ps is usually at the end of the post,but this one really needs due attention ,so u can take it as 'prior script' and not 'post script'.Congratulations to all of us for the "LOK PAL" bill being approved by the Government.Now we can hopefully breathe fresh 'uncorrupted' air .One simple start for supporting this bill from our side would be not to give bribes anywhere (govt offices and other places )even though it may make the task difficult to be accomplished.




     I watched a beautiful movie today and felt like just writing a short review on it.The story revolves around 2 sisters who were raised up by their step mother and father and  lived separately after they grew up.Elder sister
Toni Collette was a sober ,responsible lawyer and the younger sister played by the sexy Cameron Diaz was playful,flirty , casual going gal.The only thing what they shared in common was the 81/2 size shoes!!The story takes a twist when the younger sister Maggi has a sleep over with her elder sister Rose's boyfriend and was drifted away from her sister.She leaves the house of her sister and relocates to her long lost lately discovered Grand mom's house who was with a group of old age friends .With her grand mom's motivation,Maggi pursues a job at a hospital with some old patients, where she discovers true meaning of life by interacting  with various patients.Maggi eventually transforms miraculously into a soft hearted responsible lady.So then the story continues into a interesting journey where the two sisters re-interact and rediscover the love they share for each other and reunite into a ever lasting unfeigned  bond! The last scene in the movie is of the elder sisiter's wedding where the younger sister Maggie presents her sister a beautiful expressive gift ,of a poem narration by Edward Estlin Cummings which leaves Rose surrendered to Maggie with utter love.So here goes the poem:

  

I  carry your heart with me(i carry it in
me )i am never without it(anywhere
I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
I fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)

Wow! That's a wonderful poem! Love it! Thank you for sharing.
I wasn't quite sure if it was my kind of movie now based on your review I am convinced.

BTW, If you like Diaz, try Knight & Day. It's hilarious. One of my rare favorites.

I do really like romantic movies as the one you said. And with someone as Cameron Diaz it would be even better. But I like most the dramatic ones, maybe because my life have more drama in it than romance, I don't know.
But to say the truth, the ones that attract me the most are the ones with everything mixed.

Hey Raji,
I have seen this picture it is quite old, and even I too liked it very much.
However I can't remember the name of this movie
Yes congrats to all Indians, we have won in the real sense.

Rachna said...

I haven't seen this movie, but I have a feeling that I will like this one-- it being about two sisters. The poem is really good. Yes, the first war is won but the battle is far from won. Let's hope we don't need another agitation to get them to pass this bill in parliament.

raji said...

nice to know your feelings david..but this is more of a sisters story.

@NRI thanks for that will check out knights and day.

@Rama..oh good you have already seen this.

@Rachna ..yes ...give it a try..excellent work by Cameron and Tony

Rama Ananth said...

Hey Raji,
What is the name of this Movie?

raji said...

good question renu..may be she sees the other side of life..before she was only surrounded with happiness,partying,very easy life style..etc..so that life makes her realize that life is more than partying.

raji said...

bikram..yes long way to go..:))

@rama it's "in her shoes"(Cameron Diaz lead)
