The feel-good movie of the year... "Monsieur Ibrahim"

[m-jean03]

This film is so good, I just had to tell you guys about it again.

Set in the Paris in the 1960's, it's about a Jewish boy with a neglectful father who is befriended by a sagacious and kind elderly Muslim shopkeeper(Omar Sharif). It is in parts hilarious, heartbreaking and touching, but ultimately a really uplifting ride.

The opening and closing track is "Why Can't We Live Together" by Timmy Thomas and the rest of the soundtrack (unavailable, as far as I know) is incredible, upbeat 60's French and American rock music.

All I can say is, what a wonderful movie!! Go see it.

You can check out the website for more info and descriptions.

12. Up yours.

Hey, I'm good about PM'ing you.

That was a very good post, BTW. You are a true artist. :thumbsup:

[m-jean03]

14. Hey, thanks --

Since mine is spontaneous art, I tend not to do "shows" but, in this case
I couldn't resist your charming request (and your private offer to pay with your body.)
:evilgrin:

[Donkeyboy75]

15. Private shows aren't a problem, are they?

You'd be well advised to take hard currency in lieu of my body. Most would call that a rip-off :evilgrin:

[m-jean03]

17. A rip-off?

Here I thought you had said you were ripped. :shrug: Oh, well.

OK. "hard currency" is fine. When you initially offered that, I just assumed you were referring to your body. Sorry, my bad! :hi:

[Donkeyboy75]

18. That's what I meant!

Better to have a little piece of greatness than a whole lot of mediocrity, right? :crazy:

[m-jean03]

19. Oh my. Now I'm dizzy

I'm seeing double entendres everywhere.

And one I saw, I think would frighten you too much so I just will let you wonder.

[Donkeyboy75]

20. No wondering for me!

Everything must be spelled out clearly! I have no imagination!

3. Oh my god....OMAR SHARIF?!

I didn't know he was even still alive.

[m-jean03]

6. Yeah, he is a very charismatic & graceful older gentleman!

Go see the movie, the soundtrack is right up your alley! :hi:

[Whitacre D_WI]

8. Yeah, right.

A film about France in the '60s...

AND NO SERGE GAINSBOURG ON THE SOUNDTRACK!?!?!?!?

Sick.

[m-jean03]

9. True, but it's got sex in it!

Sex with French hookers, no less!

No, really, what a WONDERFUL movie... You will laugh, you will cry, you will leave the theatre singing at the top of your lungs "TELL ME WHY TELL ME WHY TELL ME WHY... " :loveya:

[Whitacre D_WI]

11. You want '60s French sex?

Watch "The Dreamers."

Eva Green: :loveya:

10. Thanks. I have been wanting to see this but wondered if it would

be worth it.

[burrowowl]

13. Yes it is a

very good movie and Omar Sharif is great.

[m-jean03]

16. Please do!

It is well worth the effort & $$!! :hi:
