Why I Love Foreign Films, Music, Dance

A heated passion of mine is film, foreign films from France and India at the moment. I'm a Netflix subscriber and movie addict and have seen over 450 films in the past 6 years, all for the price of owning only one per month. (I pay about $18for unlimited viewing by mail or on my computer at www.netflix.com.
My French list includes Happenstance (watched 3 times), Priceless (watched twice), Two Days in Paris. My Indian cinematic faves include Monsoon Wedding and Outsourced. I loved French/Algerigan singer Faudel ("The little price of Rai") so much in the movie Happenstance that I purchased two CDs on Amazon.com. "Baida" and "Samra." I think that translating his love song lyrics from French to English on Babelfish will help teach me the French language. Faudel is also on the background music of Amira Mor's bellydancing instructional videos. Some of his music would be perfect for tango, salsa, or flamenco... (http://www.last.fm/music/Faudel)
I love foreign films, especially romantic comedies because they are usually not epics but feature the lives of individuals. Intimate and pensive, sometimes even revealing the innermost thoughts. Conversations seem more true to life, and there is less "plot" and more "story." The filmmaker is trying to teach us something profound, true, or unknowable. And the backdrops are beautiful and mind expanding, teaching about travel and culture in the most pleasant way. It is like actually being in Paris, or on the Cotes du Azur, or in India and viewing life, good or bad, through another's eyes. Laughing at life, and realizing that some things are the very same in every culture. Love, Family, Children, Work, Hopes, Faith, and Dreams.//

NEVER LEAVE YOUR PARTNER

My husband and I are doing "The Love Dare" from the book that inspired the hit movie "Fireproof" (2008, Sherwood Pictures). Actually, the first time I did the book, we were dating, and he proposed to me on Day 8, because, well, he "just felt so loved!" If you haven't seen the movie, please rent it on Netflix at http://www.netflix.com/. We are also journaling to one another on http://www.40daylovedare.com/. Just the act of writing to each other on opposite ends of the house, and anticipation of receiving a significant love letter, has put passion and fun back into our lives.
I won't say that the assignments are easy, but they are simple. If you're single or divorced, like I was, the book will definitely prepare you for your next relationship. It may even save your marriage!
Watch the movie trailer on Imdb: http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi3049979929/
Marriage is serious business and I don't want mine to go up in flames. As you'll learn in the movie, NEVER LEAVE YOUR PARTNER.
