The Sea Inside
If you have a chance be certain to see this film. No, I am not starting a film critique column. Last night my beloved sister and a lovely friend wanted to see it. More than a film. It was an experience. Incredible acting, with a terrific score. It is in Spanish with subtitles. Even with my poor Spanish I could pick some exquisite phrases in the script.
It is a story of love and freedom. It is about the right to do what we wish with ourselves when faced with a terrible situation. It is also a tale of political, governmental and religious interference. It is apropos to recent positions by some politicos.
I kept thinking about what I would do in such a situation if it was or becomes my dilemma. Also what would my reaction be if this happened to a loved one.
In this time of life when so many have passed away I either have to give into the trumpeted fears of the unknown or accept death as a part of life. What is so apparent is the declining physical abilities as you advance in years. What is the most imortant is the loss of great loves and friendships as they leave us.
The saving grace is the memories which are left by those who are no longer with you. When those memories go it is time to join them.
