In loving, living memory, John Melançon 1928 – 2007
Very good movie (and very good company! I was the guest of Larry and Rosalind and Ian and Anjali and Henry, and I took Wendy's ticket– I saw her where we met up at California Pizza Kitchen.)
I was surprised to recognize words spoken by the main characters in the beginning, before realizing that though in India, as Muslims, they were speaking Arabic (which shares a lot of words with Hebrew... not that I know much Hebrew).
Latika (pronounced LAH-tih-kah)
i don't know if it was intentional on the part of the filmmakers, but you also felt the poignancy of the inability of individual wealth to change the lives of everyone similarly struggling to make it.
