Thank you for the suggestion Angie!!! It’s been a very weird week for me, lots of work stuff and lots of weird errands (I had to take my sewing machine in to be repaired at a very strange show that is only open 6 hours a day), so a nice watchalong with the nice people sounds just about right.
Shakuntala
It’s a classic of Indian literature, another variation on the “Man rejects pregnant wife because of Magic” story that appears in every culture. Shakuntala is a magical beautiful wood dwelling innocent, Prince falls in love and marries her in the forest and tells her to come to his palace. She follows but because of curses and things, he does not recognize her when she arrives. She takes off in fury declaring he doesn’t deserve her, and then of course he does remember her and is heartbroken and regretful. Years later, he meets their child and the young boy reunites his parents.
This new movie looks very fairy tale and pretty and also silly and over the top. So, great watchalong choice!!!
Who is available Saturday or Sunday morning? For a very last minute watchalong?
