rachel getting married

Jonathan Demme - 2008

I will often cry at movies the first time I see them, but it's quite rare that I cry the second time - and perhaps cry even more. This was the second time I've seen this movie and I just couldn't stop myself. It's really amazing.

The movie is really about acceptance. The father accepts his daughter even though she did something horrible. Races are mixed and not talked about - it is a post-modern utopian world of acceptance, love and tragedy. And once again, Roger Ebert is right - that is a wedding I would like to go to.

In my mind this movie kicks Slumdog's ass. And Anne Hathaway rocks.
