Guess who is coming for dinner......
One of my favorite movies is GUESS WHO IS COMING FOR DINNER, it covers so many issues, and If I tell you that anytime I see it on the telly, I sit down and watch it, I am not exagerating. I love any movies with Spenver Tracy in it, he never lets you down, Quiet, and stern, resolute, strong, though he lived a tragic life himself. You see he was a Catholic man, who had a son with mental disability, I think he never came in term with that, he was also in love with CATHERINE HEPBURN(who wouldn't), but as a Catholic he could not divorce his wife. although he spent a big chunk of his life with her, he was never divorced. He was also an alchoholic, a disciplined alchoholic, he never showed up drunk for work, and was always disciplined, but it ended his life sooner that it should have. He has a speech at the end of the movie,one of the most memorable, loving words ever uttered. and the way Miss Hepburn looks at him so addoringly is priceless, he died shortly after the completion of the movie.
There is also Sidney Poatier, playing the black fiance of Spencer's daughter. He also has a scene with his father, telling his father to " GET OFF MY BACK", sfter the father tries to put the guilt on him, --that how hard he has worked to raise him, and how he is compromising all of that by marrying a white woman. It is a powerfull scene. I do believe that as a father, I do not have any hold on my kids for bringing them to this world and raising them. They had no choice in it, they are here blessing my life, and it is my duty to give them the best I can, NO HOLD, NO GUILT, NO EXPECTATIONS BUT THEIR HAPPINESS.
If you have not seen the movie , watch it, you will be better for it, I also recomend, A BAD DAY IN BLACK ROCK, for all spencer Tracy fans.also any movie that HEPBURN and TRACY made together, they are mostly light comedys and a delight to watch.
This morning while I was leaving the Gym, I saw Anthony training Mrs Moses, she is a delightfull lady with a great smile, she said;" Javad, I think I know you more than I should", I stopped, and she added, "Since I get to your site, I have learned a lot about you", I was shocked, I had invited her to come and visit, but never expected her to be nice enough to do that. For a minute I was thinking, about all my latest shameless comments about myself, and my life, and did not know what to say, I just thanked her and leftvery much pleased and amused. Thanks you Mrs, Moses, it is a pleasure to have you here, and please do leave us some comments, and share some of your sensibilities.
