I love how you talked about the book. It’s one of my favorite books, and Yates is now dear to my heart. I’ve read it two-and-a-half times, and it always strikes me how Yates plays on speech and silence, judgment and perception. The Great American Dream, and how no one really gets it, and how everyone’s very much aware that they won’t likely get it anytime soon.

@Eeisa

Again, I am humbled with your comment just like the first time I was in Facebook. Thank you, my dear friend.

Exactly! Even though the narrative is situated in 1950s America, I found it almost universal in its implications. I thought the film was a terrific adaptation. Sam Mendes did a great job translating it to the screen.

I haven’t read the book but the movie was very painful to watch. It’s a story anyone can relate to, no matter where you live and no matter what age you live in. We all have inner struggles, disappointments and pain in reaching some sort of gratification and dealing with social conventions.

I must admit it, It’s been awhile since I’ve read a decent intelligent Review about a movie.

Brilliant just brilliant, I love it! The social conformism been represented in such a wonderful way, I mean you did used the right words representing what has been going on with the movie, This is a great article, The US behavioral been recognized in a different social standards, The culture, The American dream.. etc etc

If I opened magazine or something! would you accept working as an writer/editor for me? You don’t have to worry I’ll make sure to get u an assistant a new Betty Sawiris would be fine right? :p Really I enjoyed reading it! I want you to write a review about “Twilight: New Moon”, You just got me under your spell ! <3 <3 Best wishes with the next review and remember keep up the good work
