I have a movie to recommend. It's not really about MLc but I, personally, think every women ( and man ) should watch this movie. The name of it is The Stoning of Soraya M. I have to warn you, it is very graphic but I think there are so many lessons in the story. Also, it's a slow-paced film with subtitles ~ could take some patience to watch.


On a different note, I loved Blue Valentine because the story resonated with me and the cinematography is just beautiful. The acting / actors were great, too. And... War of the Roses, also with Michael Douglas, is pretty funny. I don't recall specifically if these deal with mlc but I think they had some related elements.


I, also, really did not enjoy Eat, Pray, Love. ( it was horrible ~ I think I fell asleep in the theater a little ). For some reason, Julia Roberts is no longer one of my favorite actresses. She was great when she was younger but now, I don't know  :-X . I guess that's why I didn't enjoy it.

I was 13 ~ he was 15 ~ Together for 19 years. Doomed from the start?
We never married ~ no children ~ two cats ~ Bomb Drop ~ 6/22/09 ~ he left to be w/ the Op & Op's kid
Atomic Bomb Drop ~ 3/22/12 ~ found out they had a child in early February, 2012 ( 2 weeks before my BDay )

In 100 years, none of this will matter but time is still. (( hugs & prayers to all ))

Star, thanks for the recommendations.

Will pass The Stoning Of Soraya. I know how things are in Iran and what they do, just can't watch that sort of stuff. At least not for know.

Gonna check Blue Valentine. Love The War of The Roses. Not MLC related and on a more romantic note, I recommend Bright Star, the love story between Keats and is beloved.

I completely understand AnneJ. I was a worried about mentioning it here not just because it really doesn't have anything to do with mlc ( although it does tell the story of a LBS ) but it is so graphic and difficult to to watch. On the other hand, I decided to just mention it because I recall thinking to myself after viewing it "this is a powerful movie and everyone should know about it, if they don't already".  For me, watching it gave me strength and made me proud to be a free women with a voice and it especially gave me a sense of perspective when I was really down & out, thinking about him and how he hurt me.


I've seen so many movies but I don't remember many that deal with the topic of mlc. It's wracking my brain.

No need to worry mentioned The Stoning of Soraya here, Star. Yep, everyone should know about the movie. Or, at least, how things are for women in Iran, Saudi, Iemen and in many other parts of the world (see the BAli woman in Eat.Pray.Love).

I live in southern europe, northern africa is not far from here. It is not like in middle east but women's lives over there are not always nice. Even in southern or east Europe women can have it though.

The thread is not just for MLC movies. I'm an eager book reader (not MLC books) and a bigger eager movie watcher. Just had let both those things on hold for a while since husband's MLC beging. Now I'm catching up my normal rhythm. Meaning, a lot of movies (for all over the world) and books.  :)

Yep, that one looks interesting. Not a big Ben Stiller fan but will watch the movie.

Saw The Beever tonight. Thought it was with Michael Douglas, like Solitary Man, but it is with Mel Gibson. If someone knows a thing or two about MLC is Gibson.

Not sure if I liked or disliked the movie. Upseting may be the right word. Like in Solitary Man it becomes very unconfortable to watch these man loosing it. In The Beever, such as in Eat.Pray.Love, the marriage already seems pretty dead and stale.

There is a sentence from the movie that fits my husband behaviour "People love a train wreck when is not happening to them.".

Yeah, I'm interested to see how the mlc plays out in the film. If not for that, I probably wouldn't watch it even if Ben Stiller's in it.


Also, Sideways... I remember that being an o.k. movie.

Has anybody watched the Sandra Bullock movie "Hope Floats"?
I have always felt like it's too bad we don't get to see some sort of an epilogue, like one maybe two years later when Sandra's character's H finally sees through the OW and will come running to see if it is too late to get his wife and daughter back.  It broke my heart when Sandra's telling her mother the things that she misses about her H, the way he'd make her feel so safe and I'm thinking Wow this scene sure sounds familiar to me.  The way she can't get herself together at first, I'm thinking Been there too!  And what her H says to their daughter, that he can't take her with him because he and OW need time to themselves right now, "to try and make a go of it."  Hey if it's "true love"  ::) what would it matter for your daughter to be there or not?  You already KNOW it isn't the REAL thing!
I don't know about anyone else but I just wanted to smack him.

I've seen it. Great movie! It was very easy for me to relate as well.

OK, so it's not a film, but a video of a 51 year old guy and 16 year old wife. Could it be, could it be, mlc?
