UNCOMFORTABLE

On the morning after the Academy Awards, I’m left with a question: What do movies do best? My answer is that they allow people to work out their own emotional questions through the actions of the characters on screen.
Last night, when CRASH won for Best Picture, I jumped off our living room sofa and screamed in jubilation. Why? Because that movie touched me deeply. I left the theatre disturbed and uncomfortable. I talked about the movie to my husband and friends. I questioned my own unconscious feelings of prejudice. But, is that enough? Is it enough that the movie made me uncomfortable and made me think?

Headlines were full of disturbing news last week about medical findings that upended some of our health beliefs. I was affected by the findings that calcium and vitamin D may not prevent bone loss in post-menopausal women. Yikes! At last I had settled into taking one little pill two times a day that “might” help prevent bone loss. Now they weren’t sure. Then there was the news that a low fat diet may not prevent all the ailments we were told it might including breast cancer. Not a good week for women.
