I say, “I agree with Thomas. I enjoyed it.”

Team TLC Movie Night: Thomas’ choice – “Rogue One”
Thomas says, “I liked it a lot, I liked the music and my favorite character is the blind guy, Chirrut Îmwe.”
I say, “I didn’t think I was going to like it. I just don’t like watching fighting and violence. However, I did actually love it. I’m more of the “faith” and “knowing” persuasion rather than hope. Yet, I did love the message of hope as the root of the movie. Love the soundtrack too. And my favorite character was the droid, Kay-Tuesso.”

Team TLC movie night: My choice – “Woodlawn”
I say, “I was 3 and 4 years old living in South Jackson, Mississippi when the true story on which this movie was based played out. So this spoke to me. Inspiring is too light of a descriptive. Living from Love and the Divine Heart is one of the keys to miracles and peace.”
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. There is no remedy for hate but to love more.” –Martin Luther King, Jr

Team Member C movie night: “The Last Word”
I adore Shirley MacLaine. Inspiring movie about embracing fear of failure, fear of making mistakes, and fear itself … from my point of view. Quote from the movie, “Don’t have a nice day. Have a day that matters. Have a day that’s direct. Have a day that’s honest.” -Harriet
December 29 2018:
Team TLC movie night: Lillian’s choice – “Tarzan” – Second time around for this one as we watched it about 7 years ago. She wanted to see again.
Lillian says, “Good, musical, favorite character is Jane, and funny in some parts.”
I say, “Well, not my style of movie. Yet, tolerable for Lillian 💙.”
December 23 2018:
Team TLC movie night: Thomas’ choice – “Holiday Inn” – Another seasonal favorite.
Thomas says, “I like it, it was good, and I like the music.”
Lillian says, “Musical, my favorite characters are the two ladies, good for Christmas and any other holiday like 4th of July.”
December 22 2018:
Team Member C movie night. Lillian is spending the weekend with The Romano Duo and Thomas is doing his own thang.
“Leonie” – Wonderfully inspiring and true story of Isamu Noguchi’s Mother, Leonie Gilmour.
Quotes from the movie –
“I studied so that I might express the joy and pain and profundity of being human. That’s what poetry does. Does it not? That’s what I wish to learn. No school can teach it – how to take what is at the deepest level of the soul and put it on a piece of paper..” – Leonie Gilmour in interviewing to be editor for Yone Noguchi’s novel, “An American Diary of a Japanese Girl”
“You’re art will be your weapon, you’re art will be your voice. There are no boundaries for an artist. No borders. Through art, you can speak all languages and lead a magnificent life anywhere.” -Spoken by Leonie to her son, Isamu.
“I wonder sometimes. Why was I so greedy in my youth. I now find beauty in simple existence. In abandoning all worldly desires. Just like a tree. Or a stone.” -Leonie Gilmour
