Yup. We're rebels.
We went to the movie theatre tonight and
fully rounded out our Indian education by seeing a Tamil movie! I’d love to tell
you what it was called, but lets be real, I have no idea what it was called. All I really know is Dr. Relton and his family treated us to the movies and we had a blast!
Dr.
Relton brought his whole 5-person gang so each one of us had our own
translator- but it turns out we were able to figure out most of what was going
on. The movie was a classic-Mrs. Doubtfire-style-switcharoo…the
main character was trying to win over his boss’s daughter while playing both
the goody-good and the bad-guy. Eventhough we couldn’t understand the language the movie was
so colorful and upbeat it still was entertaining to watch. Especially because all Indian movies have super random music
videos interspersed throughout…so just when we got tired of watching unknown
dialogue it was time for a dance number! The 2-hr movie even had an intermission (or
“Interval”) where everyone got up and bought snacks. I took a picture of the concession sign incase you're curious:
We saw the movie on the poster on the left (by the way, the main character gets the girl and his boss's approval (I know you were dying to hear the ending))
The movie set-up was pretty similar to what we're used to. Infact, it was probably the most American thing we've done in India. They even had a little food court right outside the theatre with all the usual food court restaurants. Even a Baskin Robbins (this is the first franchise we've seen in India!)
It was a wonderful evening to top off an already great day at the hospital!
Keep sending questions and inquiries for a later blog (alexandradezii@gmail.com)- you guys are awesome. I am so grateful for the amount of support and love I receive from each of you on a daily basis. Thank you for following me on this journey- and for reading these silly blogs. I love you all

Maybe I should move to India and be in Indian films since they sing and dance so much
