The Guitar (by Amos Poe)

When I was writing yesterday's blog it occurred to me that I never talk about all the books and movies I have had the time to read and watch since I'm not working myself to the bone. I don't know why I haven't been recommending some of the really wonderful things.

My niece, Jenifer, recommended I watch the Guitar. This is a 2008 movie starring Saffron Burrows, Isaach De Bankole and Paz de la Huerta. I know, I never heard of any of them either. A young woman is diagnosed with terminal cancer, given two months to live, and is fired from her job and dumped by her man. Yes, all this happens in one day. It couldn't get any worse right? Right! As my niece warned the movie is not for children. There is nudity and an interesting "menage a trois". Sorry, that is without accent mark because I don't know how to make them on the computer.

This is a very inspirational movie. I cried, laughed, was intrigued and embarrassed. So many emotions I didn't know where one let off and the other picked up. This is maybe a "cancer" movie but it would be very inspirational for everyone. Guys can watch it and run the risk of a tear or two just for the nudity and at some point they'll want to play air guitar.

Hope, an integral part of human nature.

Thank you Jenifer for the heads up and the continued info and support.
