This movie was on my list. Now I will watch together with Kemi!!

I have a confession to make now: It's probably been over 25 years since I've seen this movie. I have it in my collection, and I enjoyed watching it the first time, but it just wasn't a film that I revisited time and time again. Seeing it with Kemi was almost like watching it for the first time. What a powerful film! I was engaged throughout the entire film, and I like that Kemi said she could understand everyone's point of view. Sarah Jane had some very complicated emotions to deal with, and it was because of the way society viewed black people at the time. I don't think she was pretending at the end, although I saw the look on her face in the car that Kemi mentioned. I think perhaps Sarah Jane was just exhausted, grieving deeply for her mother who she treated so poorly, and finally coming to that realization, not knowing how to handle those feelings. I didn't remember how sad the film was, so I apologize to you, Kemi, for making you feel drained--but I guess that means the movie did its job. 😊 Nat King Cole sung in the opening song, "Without love, you're only living an imitation of life." Laura didn't have true love when she was with the director. Sarah Jane couldn't express love to her mother or to herself. I am mixed-race myself. You can see my family in my thumbnail. My mother is Asian, and my father was half-black and half-white (that is my aunt in the thumbnail, my father's sister). My father had very similar feelings to Sarah Jane. He was born in 1931, so he dealt with the racism in America during the 1950s, and he didn't like it. He met my mother overseas, and he never intended to come back to the United States, but my mother insisted that her children receive an American education, so I did grow up in the U. S. Thankfully, I never experienced the kind of racism and discrimination that my father or Sarah Jane felt (the scene where Sarah Jane was beaten by her "boyfriend" was so hard to watch), but I was teased for looking "different." I'll never forget this girl in the 7th grade who looked me straight in my face and declared, "You're ugly!" I think only now, in the 21st century, are we starting to accept and embrace people's differences, although there is still some backlash and work to be done as a society. As I said, I have been fortunate to live my life free of hate, so in my experience, that's progress. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie, Kemi. I really loved the "soap opera" style director Douglas Sirk was famous for. Not only did I love your thoughts and comments, but also your wonderful facial expressions! You certainly had a lot to say, not only with your words, but with your eyes! And yes, John Gavin (Steve) was a VERY handsome man!! LOL I think you might enjoy a movie called "Far from Heaven" (2002) that was done in the style of this type of 50s melodrama. I'll put it on my list. Thank you so much!

The director of far from heaven has a new movie coming out on Netflix soon. It also looks melodramatic! https://youtu.be/4VdAParM4h8?si=QSJuqMp8YNdfK_jF
