english vinglish

This post will be completely different from what I've written before, but I just can't stand posting it right now, in the middle of the night. It happened that I've watched wonderful movie "English Vinglish" and want to share with you that beautiful feeling it gave me.
First of all, I have to admit that Indian movies are my favourite ones - that is a huge secret, so you have to feel privileged about this :). My all time favourite movie is "Main Hoon Na", I've watched it like thousand times (btw, when you have a lonely evening, give it a try!).
What I wanted to say about "English Vinglish" is that it's wonderful. There are not so many movies which give you a nice warm feeling after all. Yes, this is a fiction, but there are some magic, some true stories around us, which show that everything is not that bad in our world, we still have a chance. I can compare this movie with "Intouchables", which is also the nicest movie I've ever seen, and it is a real story, that is hard to believe.
"English Vinglish" is a story about Indian mother and wife, Shashi. She is totally traditional and doesn't really fit into a modern world. She also doesn't know English, which makes her life even harder - her daughter and husband laugh at her, make her feel miserable sometimes. But than her niece, who lives in New York, is going to have a wedding, so Shashi has to go alone to another country, which language she doesn't know. That's not easy at all, but she finds 4-week English classes, so her new life will begin, when she will understand that she has to love herself, and life will get come new color than.

I don't want to retell the movie, just download it or buy a DVD and spend two hours in front of your TV-set. You won't regret, I promise.
