    Here's the Christmas gift to lift your spirits
  

*by B***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020*

I know what DVD I'll be giving at Christmas this year - The Sapphires! I don't think I ever heard of this movie. I came across it accidentally while looking for another film.In a way, it is similar to 'The Commitments,' an Irish film that finally bursts into soulful Motown music, bringing the viewer to the dance floor, even when there is no room to dance. Hearing the Irish actor Chris O'Dowd speak with his Irish accent clinches the deal, even though he was not in the Commitments, which was made in 1991. That film is a cult film now and worth seeing again and again. The Sapphires deserve to be a cult film, too.I appreciate the themes woven together in The Sapphires: Australian racism, American racism, the cruelty of the Vietnam war, the sense that we were fighting a war on the other side of the world and how many young men (and women) fought there in a foreign culture, exposing themselves to danger, at the same time they took over someone else's country with deadly weapons. I lived through those years. The boys I dated in high school and my own brother had to face the draft and possibly be sent to fight. It was a cruel and frightening lottery for a kid graduating from high school to face.Watching this film made me think that covid-19, a natural virus much like any other infectious agent that attacks humans, is the worst thing that has happened in the 2020 year, and it is no one's fault. We blame anyone we don't happen to like (the Chinese, the President, the big drug companies, etc.) but it is a natural event, much like the flu pandemic of 1918. A friend of mine is very elderly and I reminded her that her own mother and father went through that flu pandemic and survived to raise a family and live long lives. My friend did not remember that catastrophic time ever being mentioned or discussed in her large family. So much for that catastrophe - as far as she was concerned.Instead of natural catastrophes, The Sapphire presents the viewer with what we already lived through - vividly, affecting our lives and emotions - and it makes our complaints about the government and President seem ridiculously weak in comparison. We lived through a time when going to school meant you learned you might have to hide under your desk immediately if we were bombed (Bay of Pigs), and a tremendous amount of public violence and mayhem happened right in front of the eyes of the viewing public (so convenient that the shock and entertainment value of the drama led to conspiracy theories):- a President was fatally shot and his elegant wife covered in his blood. On television. This was a man who was reviled and adulated, both intensely.-  his assassin was shot (Lee Harvey Oswald) by Jack Ruby.-  his brother was assassinated  (Robert F Kennedy)- Martin Luther King was assassinated- Malcolm X was assassinatedAll of these things spanned years and yet I believe Americans generally consider themselves to be a peaceful citizenry and it is the other emerging economy countries that have serious problems. We don't think that all the riots we've experienced are much more than memories now.  They prove we have problems (but we're working on them) and life goes on. It does go on!All the more reason to love The Sapphires. In reality, two of the singing girls group did not go to Viet Nam because they opposed the Viet Nam war. The movie makes some adjustments to the narrative - and does not try to make war feel like random violence which is all controlled very well by the professional military. It is chaotic. As the Sapphires make their way to the next gig, traveling in a truck, you see the our soldiers guarding prisoners by the side of the road, with sacks over the heads of the prisoners. Just another night at war. We also watched a lot on television in those days - and learned of the My Lai massacre. The war was on the news every night. Every night!In the midst of all of this, which we don't worry about as being particularly meaningful to our lives today (unless you lost someone to the war or in street violence at home while riots took place), these girls trusted a white Irish man to shepherd them through a strange country with the threat of violence always waiting somewhere. They sang and enjoyed singing and brought enjoyment to people who wanted to hear something live and lively. Or sad and soulful. Or just worth dancing to.What a great story! For the most part, a true story, which makes it even greater. We went through so much at that time - but even some of the protest marches had a joyful aspect. 2020 has the coronavirus, which is terrible, but a natural scourge.  We had all of the above listed violence and turmoil, and survived, like the Sapphires.

    The first movie I ever saw Chris O'Dowd in and is a favorite
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024*

Love the Vietnam era music and plot. Based on a true story and don't want to give plot away but this movie made me fall in love with Chris and his talent and charm. Saw it at before "Bridesmaids" came out and I don't think it made the big screen in the US as it was about in Australia. Ms. Maupin belts out a tune with soul and the frequent musical performances take me back to the music of the 1960s. A feel good love story set in with some drama. I've worn out one copy and had to replace it!
