I live in Minneapolis and some of my Jewish friends were extras in the bar mitzvah scene. There are quite a few little local in-jokes, but arguably the whole movie is an in-joke about growing up Jewish in Minnesota in the sixties. So when Emma Thompson has that line in An Education about "our Lord" it reminded me that the two movies are set at about the same time, and are both about a certain middle-class, one very American, one very British, and their aspirationas and fears.momohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149328149132703479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22161935.post-90586842476755646482009-12-24T18:48:16.770-05:002009-12-24T18:48:16.770-05:00Wait, so did you like An Education or A Single Man...Wait, so did you like An Education or A Single Man?

I saw it the same weekend as A Serious Man,and let me tell you, the two of them together were an eye-opener.<br />I want to be able to like Nine, because of DDL, but I just can't bring myself to go because I KNOW I'm going to loathe it. so you saved me the trouble.
