description=I m an academic writer and teacher working on my second major book project on subjects that aren t nearly as fun, wide-ranging, and approachable as the ones I treat here (Latin America, anthropology, gender studies), so this blog serves as an outlet and a reminder to me that writing is fun as well as hard -- as…;

Text of the page (random words):
a lot about the fact that i would have watched the whole thing again immediately after seeing it i d love to talk more about it i m curious what you thought fd was it too grim or did the themes resonate with you reply fd says 17 september 2012 at 8 12 pm i did not find a separation grim but i didn t think the movie away from her was grim either i thought a separation was an extremely well written and beautifully acted film it seemed more like a documentary than a fictional story i was fascinated by the central questions the movie raises including what is the truth the movie reminded me igmar bergman films as well as herman melville s story benito cereno which mines some of the same territory i particulalry liked how the director reveals the inadequacies of religion laws and other social institutions when faced with complex moral questions i think thorny is a better adjective than grim to describe the tone and content of a separation i thought the ending was excellent what would you have guessed the daughter would do given all she learned about her parents reply didion says 19 september 2012 at 11 32 am i completely agree with you fd not least on its wonderfully complicated view of those questions it has to have been the smartest film i ve seen all year it just doesn t stop turning the narrative just when you think you catch a glimpse of the characters responsibilities even given their problematic situations whether it s that a man needs to care for his father with dementia or a mother who brings her rambunctious little girl to work with her the story turns again up ending your expectations just amazing reply fd says 26 march 2013 at 6 23 pm hi didion just thought you might be interested in this article about female television writers or lack thereof here s the link http www thewrap com tv article tv writing remains white mans world writers guild study finds 82556 reply didion says 27 march 2013 at 7 58 am oh man so frustrating many thanks for this link fd i d seen the geena davis study but not this one from the writer s guild reply wendy reck samson says 2 july 2013 at 12 26 pm i just wanted to let you know how much i enjoy your blog in every possible way the content the writing the humor the aesthetics also have you watched orphan black it seems like something you would find interesting on various levels reply didion says 3 july 2013 at 10 02 am thank you wendy what kind words and let me say that my delay in responding had everything to do with power binge watching four episodes of orphan black last night love the central actress i ll let you know what i make of the story as it continues to develop many thanks for the recommendation reply galeforcewind says 13 july 2016 at 5 33 pm where do i find your writing now me
