What do you do when you break up with your girlfriend and then you are called to the hospital where she’s just been admitted to the ICU and the hospital wants you to sign a paper allowing it to perform a dangerous procedure?
Linda and I saw “The Big Sick” today. It’s a comedy, but it is also a movie about the difficulty of being a Muslim in American and the problem an immigrant has in breaking with his parents’ culture.
In the 1990s I saw “Mississippi Masala,” a film by Mira Nair, in which the Indian heroine falls for Denzel Washington. Her mother is scandalized. I never forgot her reply. “This is America, Ma.”
Whatever evils Trump may impose, we are still individuals trying to cope and get along. See this movie. Be prepared to laugh. Ray Romano and Holly Hunter are wonderful. Bring along some extra Kleenex.
Spoiler alert. Emily does not die.
