i vacillate in my review between 1 ( awful ) and 2 ( not quite awful and i suppose ) . this movie have no plot to speak of . someone compare it to hester street and atlantic city in the way it achingly prove the universality of the twin globalization pull of modernization and immigration over the past three hundred year around the world . the exception be that those two fine movie have plot and character you care about . that same reviewer say it be one of the sad film i have ever see . . i agree with that . i be sad and too and that i have to sit through this melancholy non story fill with vapid character . go see this movie if you want a good nap .
