bearing said...: So do you think it would appeal to children? If so, what gender/age ranges? I am going to be able to get together with my best friend from high school next week, and might suggest we see it, but we might have to have some children tagging along so I'm wondering if it would work as a mom and kids outing.; May 8, 2010 at 4:15 PM
BettyDuffy said...: I would love for my kids to see it, and they're all under ten, boys and a girl. There are A LOT of exposed nipples since three out of four babies breastfeed, but my kids are pretty used to that. Teenagers might snicker, but they should see it anyway.

Surprisingly, there are no birthing scenes, just immediately after birth.

Go see it ASAP so we can talk about it. I don't want to give anything away.; May 8, 2010 at 5:21 PM
Kris Livovich said...: The husband and I saw it yesterday - I loved it. He was a bit confused. "Where is the plot? Wait, we're just watching babies? Can't we do that at home? Why did I pay fifteen bucks for this?"

After he settled down for a snooze I was able to focus my attention fully.

Loved the African baby, loved the Mongolian baby. Fascinating and amazing to think that children need only love and food to thrive - it makes me feel good about my parenting.; May 10, 2010 at 12:00 PM
mrsdarwin said...: We're going (just Darwin and I -- the kids can wait for DVD) next Wednesday. What could be better -- a long-overdue date night and a good movie? I think the last time we had a date was the last time we watched a movie in the theater, and that was ages ago.; May 10, 2010 at 12:07 PM
BettyDuffy said...: Kris, I went with my cousins, both girls, and I'm sure my husband would have had the same reaction, actually.

I'd have to agree that if I had my choice, I'd want to be the Mongolian Baby or the African one--minus the flies. I thought the same about the mothers--the graceful mother of eight in Africa vs the kooky San Fran Earth Mother (and father). It seemed like the color sort of drained out of the shot whenever we returned to big civilization. I'm sure this was the movie-maker's design.

But I wanted more more more. Babies in winter, babies in Mexico or Indiana, and definitely more of the mothers (and fathers).

Darwins, it sounds like you are in for an enjoyable evening!; May 10, 2010 at 2:40 PM

Madonna Del Cardellino

Thinking kills me.

She contemplates the Cloister

She goes to the fancy dress ball as Juliet.

She finds some consolation in her mirror

She finds that exercise does not improve her spirits.

She decides to die in spite of Dr. Bottles

She goes into colors

She is disturbed by a vision which appears to be herself

She longs for seclusion and decides to leave town for a milder climate.

She looks for relief among some of the old ones.

Some think she has remained in retirement too long, Others are surprised she is about so soon.

She is the subject of more hostile criticism

And here, winning new friends and not losing the old ones, we leave her.

"The Widow and her Friends"
