Save the Date, Saturday, February 19, 2011. Ideas? Dogtooth, 2010 Oscar Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film (Greece)?
OK, so we did not see Dogtooth, we saw Mother, a 2009 South Korean film. The mother we learn is motivated by guilt and is forever looking out for her son but in doing so she prevents her own self-growth and self-realization. In the end, she is not a happy camper, exposing a dark side to her blind devotion. She is not living her best life, as Oprah would say.
I don't think any of us would go to the extremes the mother did although we do make sacrifices and compromises every day about what we're going to do and how we're going to live our lives, guided hopefully, by principles we believe in, that have some foundation. Ultimately, the decisions we make should make us feel happy, or at the very least are ones we can live with.
Enjoy the day my friends! Another sunny one :-)
