Like I wrote before, I was on strict bed rest for the past four days and it is only today that I am up and about (and it is quite a relief). I used these four days for sleeping and watching movies on TV. I also wanted to read (recently was gifted Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar), but could not bring myself to do it. So, there were two and a half good movies that I watched - Match Point, The Talented Mr. Ripley and The Namesake (seen second time, caught the latter end).
Anyways, Match Point was memorable and I found it ironic that the tennis pro's wife had a hard time conceiving, while his mistress found out that she was green through the affair. Has fertility got something to do with our thinking? Like is our brain also a natural contraceptive?
Chloe was a nice girl and Chris married her only because of the networking that alliance with her brought. Nola was the carefree barefoot, who had nothing to lose - because she did not have anything at all, barring her saucy sexiness.
When Nola (the mistress) tells him about the positive Pregnancy test, Chris (the tennis pro and Chloe's hubby) wonders loudly about how his wife has been trying so hard at it without any success. And Nola tells him that their baby is a fruit of passion. Oh how sweet, if babies were not wrought of so much deliberation for some of us!
Have you seen the movie? I did not want to discuss the plot here and spoil the intentions of those who have not seen it yet. It's quite nice...do watch! And just wink with a mouseclick to be sent back to Mel!

Have not seen MatchPoint nor The namesake but saw The Talented Mr. Ripley.
ReplyDeleteHoping this cycle is it for you....I am currently stimming now in my 6th try....(fingers crossed for us both!)
That's funny, usually my IF radar is always on but I totally forgot about that aspect of Match Point (and I saw it a couple of years ago, more than 4 years into TTC). I remember many of the plot points but not that one!
ReplyDeleteQuite a suspense-filled bedrest! Best of luck with the cycle.
