The Lady


France/UK 2011

Details imdb

Seen 9 May 2012

Determined, stubborn lady

Ratings
IMDB 6.8/10
Rotten Tomatoes Audience 64% liked it
This is a love story. A woman unwittingly in the thick of events that no one foresaw. Watch this if you want to find out the tugs of war between your feelings for your homeland and loved ones. Overall, the film gets a 7.0/10 for the ensemble acting and a look at one woman's journey from ordinary housewife to national icon.




My impressions:

As the lady asked
What kind of freedom is meant
When one has to choose
Between loved ones and your own country

Loyalty and love
They intermingled
Is one greater than the other
Or one complements the other

Can anyone say for certain
If one is a better sacrifice
Than the other
It will depend on each of us

The answer however painful
The final decision
