RE: Episodes 7, 8, 9? Posted on May 27 2008 at 1:14pm by Me too! I was so impressed with the first that I saw of it when she went to India (about over a week ago); and I don't have any idea how many episodes exist because I fell into it by accident when just tuning in to tv that night. I had to miss the next follow up episode so reminded myself that I could catch it this last Saturday at 4pm but again had to miss my date in order to finish Memorial Day weekend food shopping.
How many episodes are there? It is insightful to any woman watching it, I think;because this young woman seems so unaware(and possibly we all were that way)of why her personal life is the way that it is, at the same time she is learning such great things about women in other cultures. One would suppose she could apply this opportunity, this insight, toward her own culture and her place in it as a woman and then determine what she is going to do about her life, from all the experience she is gleaning as a traveler?
I thought it was very clever to call this,"Flying" because it calls to mind that silly Erica Jung book "Fear of Flying", which apparently everyone at the time of publication thought was a breakthrough for women's "sexual" liberation, as if that was all there was to it in our culture,ha,ha,ha!RE: Episodes 7, 8, 9? Posted on Jun 3 2008 at 1:35pm by A reply to my own post: I watched three hours at least this last Saturday and learned a lot.Surprised to learn her name was the same as a Bavarian priest who had been pastor where I went to school in childhood; although toward the end of episode, we learn that Flying's heroine is Jewish, when they show footage of her grandmother's funeral. This was the most worthwhile of the episodes documenting the death of her grandmother and the tight pattern of relationship among the women as it was passed from one generation to the next.
This of course leads in fact, although in the sequence it may follow, to the desire to have a child. Her Swiss boyfriend turned out to be a nicer fellow than my first impression of him.
The discussion among the group of Somali women was truly illuminating as to the psychological difficulties of our films' creator; the comparison helped put it all in perspective and be more thoroughly examined. Or, as her German girlfriend clarified for her,"You are stuck at age sixteen".
