i caught up with a lot movies on my flight back from khartoum. the king's speech, the social network, the fighter and all good things. with the exception of the fighter and the social network, the other two movies are best described as about individuals who benefit from bad parenting. now benefit doesn't seem like the right word to use. damage is the word, perhaps. damage by unrealistic expectations, discouraging remarks, the constant putting down and difficulty in showing love.
parenting isn't about making adults out of children. parenting is about growing children into confident, humane adults. else they won't grow as a person, they merely become older and live in adult bodies, but really the frightened child they have always been.
you gotta show your little ones all the love you have for them in this world.
this film is gorgeous, beautifully shot and graced by a very able-d cast. i like helena bonham-carter who brings so much strength to the movie in a very restraint manner.
a golden rule. less is more.
ditto. less is more.
