Found a Movie that we both liked
Saw Paradise Road last night after running errands. Glenn Close and several other wonderful actresses.
It is about a group of women who were being sent home from Singapore during WW2 just before the Japanese invaded. The evacuation boat is attacked and sunk. The majority of the passengers end up in Sumatara and in a Japanese prision camp. The Glenn Close character starts a vocal orchestra with the other women. Not a choir that sings, they hum full orchestral pieces like Bolero. It is based off of a real story. The one character who is in on the orchestra from the beginning reminds me so much of my mother, down to her shaming the camp commander without being "fresh" or aggressive.
There are a couple spots I had to turn away from, but overall it is a good story and kept both DH and my interest.
