Sisters

Just watched a movie from 2002 called The Banger Sisters on Hulu. The stars are Susan Sarandon and Goldie Hawn with Geoffery Rush. Not sure why I never heard of this movie because it’s pretty damn good for this kind of movie. It explores the person we happen to be now with who we happened to be when we were in our early twenties. A lot of it (as movies of this nature tend to be ) is contrived. But the truth of it is real.

My wife, Patty, and discussed the merits of Goldie Hawn’s ass compared to Susan Sarandon’s. My personal favorite is Susan’s. Patty likes Goldie’s better. But that’s a sidetrack. What really matters is how we have integrity as persons through the years.

I am of the opinion that most of us sell out to the society we live in: go along to get along as it were. Sarandon’s character does just that. On the other hand, Hawn’s character has clung to her inglorious past. She realizes that (having reached the end of the groupies shelf life) there is nowhere to go but back . So she tries to find her old friend Suzette. Suzette has become a suburban mom with suburban mom problems. ( I hope you understand – if not, read no further.

Hilarity ensues. Also questions regarding who we are – really. That is what this blog is all about. I would like to say that I have the answers and know what it is all about. In reality,I am trying (At my age) to figure it out. Why I’m grateful for this movie. We are all trying to figure it out. Anyway, those of of us who believe in something more. in the movie,Geoffrey Rush says it best when he tells Suzette (Goldie) That she has integrity. (As many grains of salt as you need, to throw over your shoulder.)

At this point, I just want to say: watch the movie; see what comes up in you.

PEACE and LOVEYA,
