Netflix movie
Saving Face (2002)
Writer/Director: Alice Wu
A female surgeon falls in love with a ballerina meanwhile her widowed mother has become pregnant by a man she won’t name. The widow’s traditional father orders out of the house and she comes to live with and overtake her daughter’s life.
The surgeon is very much in the closet to her family though not to her friends. The ballerina feels her family’s pressure to continue as a classical dancer rather than doing more expressive dance more to her taste.
This is a rom-com, not an indie slice-of-life movie, so things don’t get too dark but the cast is involving. I especially liked Joan Chen.
Worth watching.
I switched my tv carrier. The new one is from my internet co. and they had a deal where you could get the local channels and 10 cable stations of your choice. My old co. had loads of channels I never watched. I won’t touch most reality shows. And the indoor antenna on the tv doesn’t work well here. I would spend twenty foul-mouthed minutes trying to get Masterpiece Theatre on PBS so that it wouldn’t break up. So I have my ID channel and another channel that shows people murdering people (preferably rich families trying to get rid of each other). Also, I get TCM which might be helpful on those insomnia nights.
My tomato plant has flowers but I’m dubious about getting fruit. Too much shade, especially if the days get shorter.
I wrote an Elementary drabble because it kept nagging at me. At the beginning of the year I made a resolution to do Duolingo and some writing on a WIP every day. I’ve mostly kept up the Duolingo but the writing I found to be excruciating. Every word seems wrong.
