Nailed it Peter. The film gave permission for a lot of emotions. Did you notice the freeway sign exit to Chopin Airport? Nice little touches.
"The film’s pattern is for Benji to do something initially cringeworthy, with David being the chief cringee, then winning over the others, who eventually see the fun or truth in Benji’s antics. An early example: At the Warsaw Ghetto Memorial, Benji starts posing with the statues of the heroes, horrifying David and startling the others. But soon, they’re all posing with him, leaving poor David to take the pictures."
Thanks Peter. I enjoyed reading this review.
Thanks Jackie,
Did you get my message about a book club?
