March 11, 2018, Prescott-
I haven’t done a whole lot, this weekend, and probably won’t do a whole lot during the first part of Spring Break. It is a good idea to indulge the principle of rest.
This evening, though, I went to see “A Wrinkle In Time”, starring Oprah! Ms. Winfrey was not the main point of the film, however, by a long shot. Her credo of empowerment was prominent, though, and that’s always a good thing.
The plot line was true to the novel, as I remember it from the ’60’s. The film will not likely be up for any Oscars, but it worked, as a vehicle for showing a path to justice. There was some violence, towards both the downtrodden, and at least one of the oppressors. Overall, though, without revealing much more, the violence was minimal and there was no bloodshed. It was, essentially, a 1960’s children’s story, reworked for the 2010’s.
Justice was served, in the end. Justice, in the divinely distributed sense, is, according to Baha’u’llah, “The best beloved of all things in (God’s) sight”.
Thank you for the review! I remember reading the book when I was in school and really liking it.

A good movie can always be a part of getting a good rest! I gather this was good but not outstanding?

There were several reviews in the newspaper ranging from “don’t waste your money” to a “must see”. I am going to wait until it is out on DVD and then rent it. I tend to only see a few movies a year and they have to have rave reviews by people I trust… I trust you and this one falls into the want to see but will wait for the $1 library rental instead of the $9.00 movie cost.
