Speaking Spanglish

Spanglish! Since Hotel Rwanda, i've not watched too many films that were special, at least to me. I love this movie..how the story slowly unfolds and reveals the true colours of each character..how a mother makes her dignified decisions out of tricky situations while another mum drives herself insane in her pursuit to be perfect. The husband, played by Adam Sandler, is caught between the two women and an unspoken love. The movie is humorous, meaningful and profound all at once.

It's also about how the a small Spanish family almost got 'homogenised' into the American culture. This picture reminds me a little of Lost in Translation, yet it's so different. It is not for the mass market though.. so unless you like a provoking movie, you might feel bored.

if you've seen the film, let me know what you think of it!

Hey Hey Aru, unlike you, i'm as big fan of Adam Sandler. i think he's funny, even if he doesnt talk. I dislike Ben stiller..can't quite explain it.

anyway, i'll try and catch Black. i've never actually sat thru a bollywood movie but have heard so much about it. it's catching up here in singapore with an increasing fan base. check out spanglish...i think you'll like it.
