Baghdad Cafe'

Baghdad Cafe' How many times have you wondered about lonliness? About the need to get across. about being understood .. about just making a human touch thing and failed or succeeded .. I do not know about u but I have cn it many times that u try 2 click and the click does not come or gets lost in the air or may be it comes and goes but when the click comes .. ooof .. heavens .. lord .. love .. u are there 2 sigh of releief and enjoy !

So, back 2 Baghdad ... a cult movie trying 2 depict this .. Here is what I read on it :
Shakespeare, who knew everything, would begin his comedies by removing the main characters to a remote and unfamiliar site. The break in the patterns would allow for everything to get fucked up so it could come back together again in a new improved way. That is why they are comedies and not tragedies. Imagine getting stuck in that remote location and calling it your home instead of reassimilating back into the social structure you came from.
Bagdad Cafe is that place. Everyone is from someplace else. Some have been there long than others. They all have a story but for some reason, this time around, the characters engage each other and the chaotic systems of life repattern themselves into their collective story.

The movie is a beautiful portrait in the middle of a desert where flowers bloom. Flowers blooming in the desert is the overall theme of this film, literally and metaphorically. The particular alchemy of coincidence causes a chemical reaction that forges something new out of the seperate elements that maintained their inertia. Everyone gets what's missing in their life and their affect on each other challenges each other and makes them grow into more well-rounded people. The Motel where this all takes place is like a hospital where nobody knew they were sick until wellness begins to spread.

You'll see some familar faces in this film in some unfamiliar roles. But a regular gig on ER certainly pays more than an obscure independant film produced in another country, yet filmed in English.

A wonderful film about making friends, crossing boundaries and discovering how much of our life is other people.

I like the African woman being angry with all and herself but I love above all the German woman doing what she thinks is right 2 do despite all that goes .. And what struck me most do not laugh ! is that in 1990 ... some 14 years ago before all these sep. 11 stuff the schriff knew the law that she has to leave the country when her visa terminates and wanted 2 enforce it ... v. interesting in that remote , faraway corner .. but the schriff did not care that she was practically working and making money on a tourist visa ,,, But as viewer . do they even care?! No ! of course not ... who knows all this crap about the work stuff and the viewer they will enjoy the concept .. sometimes a lack of knowledge thing or not revealing it is sure a good thingggggggg!

Highly recommanded .. watch this .. u will not regret!!!
