In the words of Derek Walcott ( plus short edit re DP

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times? – Nah, WP, not today. But thank you

Hi. I shall use this space to put the words of another.

Derek Walcott ( 1930-2017)

Love after Love

The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

πŸ€”Edit… it has just occurred to me that I no longer have the time ( to spare) to rewatch stuff. Time is of the essence, right?

Raja Hindustani and…

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

Off bat I thought I would be unable to answer today’s Daily Prompt. Watched something 5 times? Other than Black Beauty, which I may have seen 10 times as a child, nothing came to mind.

The first coffee of the day kicked in and I have been able to recall 3, which I have seen at least 3 times. Will that count WordPress?

Raja Hindustani. What a movie! It came out in 1996 and during my first ever visit to India I heard it being played a lot. It stayed with me. Starring Aamir Khan and Krishna Kapoor and currently on Amazon Prime.

A 2016 British drama series I have enjoyed is The Fall, with Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dorman. Fine actors the pair of them. It’s on Netflix now.

Last but not least a 2013 American movie The Big Wedding. The stellar cast includes Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Susan Saradon and Robin Williams. This comedy romance is airing on Amazon Prime. And now that I have been reminded of this warm and funny comedy romance, I think it’s time I watched it again. The world needs more warm and funny right now. Don’t you think?
