This weekend, I saw two Indian-flavored movies that tied in together more than I realized at the time...Netflix brought me the colorful treat of "The Darjeeling Limited", a movie about three brothers reunited and traveling through India in search of a spiritual connection after their father's death...I had a few favorite scenes but I especially enjoyed the intro...a mini-movie featuring Natalie Portman, one of the brothers and Paris...Today I saw "Rachel Getting Married" which I liked but found to be much darker than I expected. Under better circumstances (it gave me a nasty headache!) I'm sure I would have enjoyed the richness of the acting, etc. blah blah blah but all the family drama just made me nauseas! :P What did stay in my mind though, was the unique characters that made up the Indian-themed wedding party..from musicians to poets to eccentric, hippie-esque types expressing their love and celebration for the bride and groom. It had a very laid back, genuine, artistic vibe that I hope relives itself in my future wedding. Two movies...two different family losses...lots of color, music and intrigue. Inspiring.
