Ultra Orange and Emmanuelle- a French band whose track "Don't Kiss Me Good Bye" is featured in the film "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" With that, also check out their other songs, particularly "Les Mots Simples." As far as the movie is concerned, I enjoyed it even though it was not what I expected. Subtitles do not bother me and I can use some practice with my French ("Persepolis" was subtitled in French as well... see posting below) so that was fine. I hate to use these cliche words but it truly was "inspirational" and a testament to the "human spirit" mixed with sadness and an abundance of frustration to say the least. A high point was the unbelievably gorgeous French women, nurses and speech therapists, one of which is Emmanuelle from Ultra Orange who sings on the soundtrack and is noted above.
"Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" -Richard Bach. One of my all-time favorites that I am currently re-reading. Who better to unlock the secrets and illusions of life than the barn storming pilot Donald Shimoda. Here are some philosophical quotes from the book.
Juno- And I thought I possessed an all dominating wit. Fantastic film.
