Chris Cooper...Can This Man Play a Part

I don't think I've ever seen him in a movie and not been amazed, no matter how small his part is.

Massive Movie Rating Post
District 9: 6/10, really liked it and it allowed me to remain hopeful
Quarantine: 8/10, I loved every part, except that I would have had to kill the reporter early on...all that screaming *rolls eyes*, and omg, so many 'facepalm' moments!
This is England: 5.5/10, poor Milky!
Bart Got a Room: 6/10, William H. Macy in a perm wig *priceless*, plus the protagonist's parents get back together after divorcing...don't all kids of divorce secretly wish that would happen? It was also inspirational what his father did for him.
Bullet: 10/10, hot men, guns, thuggery, 2pac, Mickey Rourke, Adrien Brody, that other hot guy, a schizophrenic, a family of failures...what's not to love?
Sex and the City 2: 6/10, good, but seriously, the end was a bit too much Deus ex Machina...like okay how are we going to end this because it's about that time.
Date Night: 7/10, I love Tina Fey, Steve Carrell gets on my last nerves though!
sorry none of these movies have the year they came out...sorry!

Caramel is a movie comedy that revolves around the lives of five non-conservative Lebanese women who work in and frequent the beauty salon, si Belle. Layale is a Christian woman who works in the salon. She is in her late twenties to early thirties and is not yet married but is carrying on an affair with a married man. Nisrine is another employee of the salon; she is engaged to be married. She comes from a conservative Muslim family and makes it a point to tone down her appearance before arriving home. Rima is wash-girl of the salon, she appears to be very tomboyish, not even realizing the delivery boy’s interest in her but strikes up feelings for a beautiful woman who comes in to have her hair washed. Jamale is a middle-aged woman who is very uncomfortable with her aging. She goes through many attempts to make herself look and feel youthful as her husband is carrying on an affair of which she is aware. Rose is the aunt of Nisrine, she cares for her older sister, Lilli, who is very eccentric. Rose, a seamstress, sparks up an attraction with a male customer but finds it difficult with Lilli around.
Conclusively, Layale finally sees that she deserves more than the lying part-time relationship that her lover is giving her and that a police officer that has been in love with her and has admired her through the whole movie is attracted to her. Nisrine undergoes a hymenoplasty to be able to have a traditional first night with her new husband. Rima receives reciprocal signs of affection for the women she has feelings for as the woman allows Rima to cut her hair. Jamale finds ways of making herself seem as though she is still youthful and womanly, but she does not resolve her issues with her aging. Rose gets a date with her gentleman caller, but in the end, she stands him up due to her feelings of obligations to Lilli.
This movie was very good, although I think it’s sad how everyone young ends up happy whereas everyone old ends up in the same place as they were before and not better off. I really wanted to see Rose with the older man that she met and I really wanted to see Jamale comfortable with her age and comfortable enough to stand up to and leave her husband. Maybe it’s a cultural difference. I also found this movie to be very idyllic. When I think of Lebanon, I think, a beautiful place that is always ravaged by war. In this movie there were no references at all to any wars, religious differences, or ethnic differences. I think the title, Caramel, is very appropriate as the substance is used to make the women more attractive, but not without a bit of pain.
