these words. After watching the secenes in which Finn is telling about his childhood which past among quilts, I think these words invariably mean that things have gone on in the same way for years and years, but that now everything is about to change:) The character Finn is a familiar face. Actually in the movie "Interrupted", I appreciated her performance very much. I also appreiate her success. She is a two-time Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning American actress. In the movie, Finn is the narrator of the story. She is a Berkeley student who has returned to her family's lands to spend a last summer a short time before her marriage. She begin to stay in near her grandmother and her grand aunt. Finn's grandmother and her great aunt live in a big old house in California. For as long as Finn can remember, the two women and their friends have gathered for quilting bees. What is the amazing thing for me is to be knowing that these women sew into their quilts their hopes and memories too:) It is really wonderful, is not it? They're really going to need their thimbles this summer as they sew Finn's wedding quilt.
By the way, Finn is engaged to Sam. Nevertheless, Finn isn't sure how she feels about marriage and a lifelong commitment, and that's why she wants to spend three months out of his sight, with the older women of her family and their friends.During the course of the summer Sam will turn up, briefly, and there will also be visits from Finn's mother and all of the neighboring quilters, It is Anna, who sets the master plan for each quilt, and keeps the others in line. I deduce this from these ords of Finn:
"Anna used to work for my grandmother, but now it seems that they all work for her".
As the women quilt, they remember stories from their own younger years, and as they share them with Finn, I understood that many of them in flashback. They all have a common theme, which will not come as a surprise. That is "TO ONE'S OWN HEART BE TRUE." The two stories that touched me the most belonged to as Anna's daughter and as Finn's bohemian mother. Woodard, who has had many affairs in her lifetime, remembers the one man who got away . That man was a stranger who joined her in a Parisian cafe and left her with a scrap of poetry that she has made her life's guide. Her speaking is very sweet:) She reflects her thoughts about poetry with these sentence:
"The poetry, alas, is not very good, but you can't have everything."
Then, as the movie continues, everything begins to be revealed about Finn's mother. In fact, Finn's mother has long been divorced from Finn's father. But, here there is an important lesson given by the movie, I think. That is passion must not stand in the way of the deeper and more enduring truth of friendship.
Any way:) During her summer in the country, Finn is writing a master's thesis. It is her third, because she keeps changing her mind about topics. One day, functioning only as an obvious plot device, a big wind blows up and scatters her typewritten pages all over the yard.Then, Finn decides that she'll write on something else instead. But after the wind stops, the women gather the pages and present them to her, and she gets the advice that maybe in this case, as in life and marriage, it is best to stick to their comments:)
This is a very nice movie. Although my roommate did not like it( because we watched the movie together), I really liked it. While taking you to a nostaligia of a young girl, it also give you the chance of seeing thse sweet old women:)
