Contemporary issues meet Art and Spirituality
I found Under the Tuscan Sun to be a wonderful portrayal that we as human are at the whim of the chemistry of life and those who cross our path. Ultimately, life is about letting go of the old no matter how difficult.Lane plays an endearing main character who would cling to the old and society's definition of what she as a 30 something should have in her life at this time. By opening herself up to the novelty of life, her life unfolds in ways she doesn't expect (or even like at the time).The movie has a flow that keeps the viewer interested. The other characters play an inportant role in supporting the main character's mission to re-discover her life. The backdrop of Italy certainly heightened the romance of the movie. I didn't want the movie to end.At the end, the viewer is left with an invitation to not take things for granted and at the same time to shed those things in life that are stale and/or not working....and move on to accomplishing dreams that may have been sitting on the shelf. I have seen the movie three times.
