I'm going to watch the film again and then find my books, hidden in the shed somewhere! <br /><br />J xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743336097657087832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8967978226287872311.post-21132022548976872192011-02-25T08:44:06.578-05:002011-02-25T08:44:06.578-05:00Hi there, Jane.
I have never watched the movie.
K...Hi there, Jane.<br /><br />I have never watched the movie.<br />Kundera really brought out the feminist in me when I read his book. I remember being so perturbed that Kundera would create such chauvenists with ease. The females in his story where nothing more than his sexual objects. And I don't know if you remember but I noticed how all the mothers in the book are also disregarded and disposed. His own mother he disowned because they took the side of his ex wife and didn't agree with him abandoning his son. Then later on his sons character when he's grown up also disowns his mom, and Teresa slso abandons her mom..what is that all about? <br />Kundera came off as such an egoists that I couldn't enjoy or even believe it for that matter.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05724370185472992147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8967978226287872311.post-27630684988485418132011-02-25T04:36:55.592-05:002011-02-25T04:36:55.592-05:00Hi Rachel

I read all Kundera's novels about 15 years ago - I was on a roll and adored them. Maybe I should re-read them now to see if I still like them. <br /><br />It could also have something to do with adoring the film with Juliette Binoche and Daniel Day-Lewis ☺.
