There’s an interview with the director, Cristian Mungiu, in the LA Weekly, and he makes a few comments I’d like to highlight. Mungiu says, It didn’t start from the idea of making a film about abortion. I hope that it speaks about this period and how people adapted, as you say. And I also hope it speaks about something that is not just connected with that period. For me, it’s also a film about responsibilities and decision making, and I think these are things which are very universal, and I believe that is why there is this sympathy for the film in lots of places. Even in places where people don’t know much about what was going on in Romania, people still relate to this. [...] [...] I still haven’t seen it, but Ms. Lauren gives it rave reviews.

Anymore it would be amazing if I can write anything on the subject without a string of heretical curses.

I found the movie in the ON DEMAND menu. I played the trailer. The stupid cable company has a huge box covering the subtitles of the trailer. So I saw a trailer of foreign people talking foreign. They sure do know how to sell movies... Oh and <a href="http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2008/02/02/pro-lifers-increasing-the-abortion-rate-in-your-state/" rel="nofollow">another proud day in Indiana</a>. And to think, I just moved closer to the center of this crappy state. I am sure chipper today. :/ Speaking of fancy cable subscriptions… I found the movie in the ON DEMAND menu. I played the trailer.

The vast majority were competent, caring professionals working under unjust circumstances. I'm reading Rickie Solinger's book Beggars and Choosers, and she makes a case that the misrepresentation of doctors during the ban justifies targeting them for violence now.
