House Of Sand And Fog
House of Sand and Fog
NOTE: S P O I L E R
I do not think I could have watched a more moving and yet depressing movie right now at this time. I had tears in my eyes and my heart was pounding with emotion. This is a very sad story, and from the start it goes down hill with no sign of hope. By the end of the movie you have so many questions, so many 'what if' scenarios in your mind that you find yourself acting out each part and rehearsing how you would have dealt with each situation.
What is the real message of this movie? Is it about what is real and what is worth? Is it about the effects of greed? The lack of empathy? Lust? By the end I am wondering what the character of Kathy is really thinking when she says, "Yeah, it is my home". Could you honestly want to live in such a home after all that took place over it and in it? Would you even consider it 'my home'? Perhaps she was feeling the same as the events that took place.
A sad quote from the movie when the father prays for his son:
| QUOTE |
| Behrani: [Praying for his dying son] Please, God, don't take my joon-am. I make my nazr. My nazr, hear me, please to hear me. I will give everything to one who is less fortunate. Yes! I will make it for the broken bird. Please, God, I'm making nazr to this woman. To Kathy Nicolo. And I, to you I promise, if you heal my son, I will return her father's house. I will also give to her all the money I have. My God, Khoda. I make nazr only for my son. Please, I want only for my son. I beg you. I will do whatever is your will. I will purchase ten kilos of the finest seed and I will find an American mosque and I will feed them to all the birds outside. I will let the birds cover me and peck out my eyes! Please, God, my nazr is in your hands! |
Also when he is at the end and has said something like,

| "I have taken us so far off course that we need to return home" |
- wow.
I would love to get thoughts about this film.
I saw the TV version which I imagined had some edited parts.

An emotionally broken woman, Kathy, suddenly finds herself homeless after her house is wrongly repossessed and auctioned. Seeking respite from his marriage, Lester, a lustful but sympathetic sheriff's deputy comes to the aid of Kathy and becomes intimately involved in her situation. Soon, Behrani, a proud emigrant Iranian and his family move into the house only to find their new lives burdened by harassment from Lester and Kathy as they attempt to reclaim her former home.
