Netflix " All The Light We Cannot See"
« on: November 18, 2023, 08:02:02 AM »
We now have another must see movie according to my most reliable source my step daughter. No I have not seen it YET. The movie is based on a book written in 2014 by a novelist that became fond of the events during the second world war era. The review said it is well worth watching. If you're not a couch movie watcher the book is a one night read it said, or three of four if like me you can't stay awake. Ice has been forming over night on the pond overnight across the road...waiting anxiously for spring.

Here's the printed overview.

 All the Light We Cannot See is a 2014 war novel by American author Anthony Doerr. The novel is set during World War II. It revolves around the characters Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind French girl who takes refuge in her uncle's house in Saint-Malo after Paris is invaded by Nazi Germany, and Werner Pfennig, a bright German boy who is accepted into a military school because of his skills in radio technology. The book alternates between paralleling chapters depicting Marie-Laure and Werner, framed with a nonlinear structure. The novel has a lyrical writing style, with critics noting extensive sensory details. The story has ethical themes, portraying the destructive nature of war and Doerr's fascination with science and nature.

Another good movie on Netflix is Hector and the Search for Happiness.
