Mum''s Monday Nomadland

 

This film intrigued me so much that I bought the DVD without having seen the film. I absolutely love the line in this film ‘I’m not homeless I’m just houseless’ it is so simple but means a whole lot. A brilliant, inspired and meaningful sentence.


This film has a slow start but it is a strong one. All of a sudden this film quickly switches to a warmer climate.


There is not a whole lot to this film, it is more the meaning behind the script. If you are expecting action packed it is not. This is a good quiet film. The part although to me has a feel of a cult. It most certainly isn’t. It is just people that have fallen on hard times and with a mobile home are making the best of the freedom it gives them. I do like this film


I love how it does show not only the reality of living the way they do but the practicalities as well.


There are a lot of holes in the script as it jumps from one scene to another.


however much freedom you have there are some things you just have to be prepared for and sadly it is a harsh lesson.


Despite the sad beginning the story is a lovely one with all the things she has seen.


I love how they all help one another. How they all ‘Muck in together’ as they say. Also slowly but surely her story is being revealed more and more. It is nice to see them laughing.


The scenery is lovely to see.


This film is brave. Sometimes you have to just break loose.


Sadly, again this film shows the pitfalls of the nomadic lifestyle. This is a sad film and having seen this film the nomadic lifestyle is not for me, despite there being a lot of learning and good advice in this film.


Sometimes the way of life we lead is just in our blood/makeup. This is what this film shows us. Whatever we do or go.


Overall I am glad I got and see this film.


Thank you for reading

  I thought the same. So, where is she? If Lovejoy (Ian McShane) says ‘He will get one’ I suppose he will. I suppose, I would say, it depends on what you paid for a painting a nice ‘Fake’ at a fake price is fine, but if you pay a genuine price tag, then you could be out of pocket/at a loss. A mother is a mother so that covers all. A chain is forming. I am glad he was ‘Word perfect’ With a compliment to Lovejoy, not that ‘Old’ then. All these rhetorical questions. These are amusing to hear. ‘George?’ so funny. A coincidence, the same outfit, oh dear. Sweet.  Oh, for the best, Ibelieve. ‘Closed’. That is good. Oh that, well at least the deal was done.

Fun Friday Love Knots Lovejoy

  It is nice to hear about the history of a collectible antique as we very rarely get to know where or why things are as they are. I really feel for Jane (Phyllis Logan) and it is sad that Alex (Pavel Douglas) is saying all the wrong things. Also I agree he should be around more for her to ask. That was good timing. I do feel for Jane it is horrible to watch. Just as Tinker (Dudley Sutton) was talking about travelling in his dreams . i thought of the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where Grandpa Potts (Lionel Jeffries) did most of his travelling through daydreaming and all of sudden Tinker spots a character in the auction room called Potts (Tony Caunter). This is a completely surprising coincidence. Now we hear Tinker talk about the interesting messages left and things are getting heated in the auction room. I don’t like that he stopped bidding either, it is disappointing to watch. That is a big dog. So funny poor Lovejoy (Ian McShane) sit down. That is one spoilt dog and that is an u...

Fun Friday Eric Of Arabia Lovejoy

  It is an eye opener and quite true, can something be classed as original when parts have been replaced due to wear and tear?. This part reminded me of the TV program Only Fools And Horses with David Jason. Where the character Trigger (Roger Lloyd Pack) was going to get an award for having the same broom whilst working. This would have been fine if he hadn’t revealed that the broom had had so many new heads and so many new handles. Lovejoy’s (Ian McShane) take on this is not quite so amusing but works for the episode. This bike business is now getting amusingly action packed and cringingly dubbed. What a find. Very useful.  Not the music again. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for reading Sandra
