Mail is one of the highlights of my day, especially since I get so very little here in Japan.

Yes, Shohreh is great to listen to. We all liked her on 24. Her character did show compassion in the movie. Hers seemed truly altruistic. The police officer character had ulterior motives for being nice to Jennifer Connelly’s character.

Ben Kingsley was Ghandi too long ago for me not to be afraid of him now! I wouldn’t want to be scolded by him!

I have to dissent from your review, because I think movies generally gloss over the depth of entanglement people experience within themselves and between each other, whereas this film gets right into the muck of human existence. You can’t come away clean, after you see it. I’m still affected by it and it’s been years since I saw it. I think Shohreh A. has got — bar none– the sexiest girl voice ever and Ben Kingsley is a Bad-mother.

But you shouldn’t fear him. He was Gandhi, after all.

Do you not find any models of compassion in this film?
