 Central Station $14.99 "Central Station" is a Brazilian movie with a simple story line, but it has a tender, affirmative take that many moviegoers will embrace. A spinster, a crotchety middle-aged crone, a professional letter writer in the central railroad station in Rio, is visited by a mother and her son who see her in order to have her write and send a letter to the absent, perhaps shiftless father. (She has a touch of larceny; sometimes she doesn't mail the letters.) When the mother gets killed in an automobile accident, the boy desperately needs the letter writer as a link to his father. An act of greed on her part sends them into each other's orbit. They begin a crosscountry odyssey looking for the father. Throughout the movie and on that journey we see how the lower end of the economic ladder live in Brazil. It's a movie with compassion, a warm feeling, a feel-good movie. We see good people and acts of kindness. The spinster evolves, learns a great deal about herself as the story progresses and as she grows fond of the boy. The spinster is turned around by the persistent, insistent boy whose single-minded goal is finding his father. She almost finds romance with a good-hearted truck driver, but that proves elusive when he keeps on trucking. You'll feel some tearjerking sentimentality, but the movie shows how the humanity of people can build bonds. It's a movie with superb acting, a gentle touch, and insights into what makes us tick as human beings when faced by adversity.  Job Search: Marketing Your Military Experience $19.95 Great book, very helpful. Additionally, I like using [...] to look for jobs because it has jobs only from employer websites and far more jobs than you will find on other job boards. In this economic crisis, military jobs are considered to be the safest in terms of longevity (not to mention the nice retirement). So check out that website for additional help! |
