At the recommendation of my daughter, Francesca, I've just finished watching a delightful movie about two pious women of different faiths.From Netflix:
When Rochel and Nasira -- an Orthodox Jew and a Muslim, respectively -- meet as new teachers at a Brooklyn school, co-workers and students expect friction. But the women discover they have a shared expectation of entering into arranged marriages. As they experience tension between their traditional cultures and life in contemporary America, Rochel and Nasira form a special bond.
- Basically, it's about two women holding onto traditional values in a society that doesn't share their point of view,
- It's a lesson on cultural diversity that isn't dripping with annoying political correctness,
- It's a respectful view of faith issues, and
- It's two beautiful pictures of family life.
It sounds wonderful, though sometimes the guys here (all sons; I am the only female in the household) naturally have a slightly different mindset than we ladies.
ReplyDeleteDid the males in your home enjoy this one, too? If so, it'll be a definite must-see here.
My 14 year old son liked it. No blood, battles, or special effects, but the story was good. "It wasn't too sappy." :)
ReplyDeleteWe'll place this in our instant queue and watch it soon. Your son and mine (12 years old) sound very similar!
