The Barbie Movie

What is it about the Barbie Movie that is creating so much attention?

Ok.  So we clearly had a lot of fun showing the Barbie Movie in Rayburn Hall on Friday.  The pre-party was a hoot!  The energy our residents brought to the event was palpable.

It's a fun movie, but since I'm blogging on a website for a Senior Community, I thought I might dig deeper and my attention went to the bench scene.  Academy award winning, fashion designer, Ann Roth, meets Barbie on a bench where Barbie looks at this elderly woman and says, "you're beautiful," and Ann Roth responds, "I know it."  There it is!!!  Women talking to each other through generations.  Barbie's decision to leave Barbieland and embrace the discomforts of the human experience and to see beauty in aging are some of the themes in the movie.  

There was magic in the air on friday as we drank pink cocktails, ate pink popcorn, and enjoyed each other as modern women living in challenging times.

The more I live, the more I learn!

Residents from our community are continuing to learn with this years Great Decisions program.  This program is America's largest discussion program on world affairs and is brought to us by the Foreign Policy Association.  The program model involves reading the Great Decisions briefing book, watching the documentary film series and meeting in a discussion group to discuss the most critical global issues facing America today.

Each week a different resident is asked to prepare an introduction for the topic.  The film is shown and interesting discussion points follow.  From Climate Change and Outer Space to Russia and the United States, there is sure to be a thought provoking topic for all.
