What I'm Watching #29

"Ma Vie en Rose" is a movie about how life IS -- initiated from the point of view of the ultimate outcast: a little boy who sees the world from his perspective as a girl. It's an amazingly courageous film that depicts the rifts that his confused, innocent, and incessant choices exact upon his family. And how his family grows along with him into a more cohesive and whole entity.

Hight production values. Surrealistic moments. An A-typical ending (for a French/Belgian film....the Belgian influence, no doubt! -- It's a little happy, a little hopeful....)

Every teacher, social worker, school counselor, and progressive ordained person SHOULD see this film as a fundimental aspect of their education. Period.
