Watching a movie- “Unfinished Song”

Watching a movie- “Unfinished Song”

I watch a lot of movies but often not the current ones that are the BIG hit of the day. I see most of my movies at home watching them on Netflix. 

I used to go to the movie theater a lot in the past and enjoyed it but found as it became more and more expensive and the movies not much to my liking I switched to DVDs and then to streaming movies. This way I control what I see and the amount of sound I can stand. In movie theaters I found the sound level to be either far too loud or it seemed everyone whispered. Add to that the constant smell Of popcorn ( I really dislike the smell) and I decided home viewing was a better deal at least for me.

So last evening after I had made our usual cups of cocoa, I settled down and found a movie that looked like it might suit me. I have to say here many movies on Netflix do not but then I turn them off. Some movies are just awful these days!

The movie I chose was “Unfinished Song” or as I found out later called also “A song for Marion”. This is an English film about older people. Marion is played by Vanessa Redgrave., a great Actess. When the film opens. Marion is dying but she still loves to sing and has joined a choir of happy and diverse, older folk at the local Senior center. Her husband Arthur played Terence Stamp is a grumpy old guy who can't see good in anyone including his son but he loves his wife but can't seem to show it. The story continue and the choir enters a competition and through it ,relationships and problems get resolved. It is funny and sentimental at times but just a good honest movie to watch. I really enjoyed it.
