find myself rivet to this hbo movie . very often i do not watch movie and or or show which be hype and hbo hype this movie big . but recently i catch it on hbo signature channel and be just take with the succinct and poignant nature of the three segment . segment 1 ( 1961 ) terrific and really enjoy a great performance from vanessa redgrave . elizabeth perkins and a the insensitive wife of abbey nephew and be really a fine actress and do very well herself . segment 2 ( 1972 ) both michelle williams and chloe sevigny be excellent here . i guess because i start college in 72 i be somehow draw to the periodic dress and reminiscent of the in your face and anti establishment and make your point through vocal protest period . segment 3 ( 2000 ) sharon stone and ellen degeneres play a lesbian couple want to have a baby . it strike me that and with the decline of the family entity today and the most important element for a child be a loving and nurture family and who care whether it traditional ( man or woman ) or not . once i sit back and watch i be take in by the dialogue and the transition from scene to scene and and the way the movie get me to think about the big picture .
