This film is sweet and romantic, the acting is wonderful. Abe LIKED it, I liked it. Of course for me it raised all kinds of political questions regarding a country experiencing intense upheaval from the masses and a rich sheik (albeit visionary) wanting to invest in a dream. What can I say? I'm a social worker and always question, question, question.
More to the point is the new Alamo theater. Yeah, it's nice and spacious, but Damn it's so suburban. In a sprawling parking lot. I'm a city girl and give me my Alamo S. Lamar and Ritz and the Violet Crown anyday. I would never take my Brooklyn friends to this cineplex, it's like Sheepshead Bay!
I like your review, Addie. I would probably question, too.
ReplyDeleteMore to the point, I love the Sheepshead Bay reference, which helps me to understand the theater so completely!
