an extraordinary movie

DESERT HEARTS....................

i was watching an interview of Ilene Chaiken (creator of the L word) in youtube when she mentioned a movie, Desert Hearts. i was curious bout it so i downloaded the movie and i have been watching it over and over again for the past two months. the story of the movie was so moving, it showed how the two characters ( Vivian and Cay) portrayed by (Helen Shaver and Patricia Charbonneau) developed their friendship into love. how they realized that they really need each other. it was a difficult relationship to start with but as the two women became close to each other they knew that there's no turning back. the movie was and still is critically acclaimed, there were a lot of positive reviews bout the movie.

on a personal note, i was overwhelmed by the movie. it was an eye opener for me. i was able to understand myself better and accept who i really am. i thank Donna Deitch for sacrificing a lot of things in her life so as to produce and create this heartwarming masterpiece. Thank you Helen and Patricia for taking a risk in making this movie.

i'm inviting everyone to have a copy of this movie. for its 20th year anniversary since it was first shown in the big screen, the producer re-released a dvd copy of Desert Hearts last year (2007) with never-before-seen footages.
