Cabrini

 This is one the best movies I have ever seen.  It just came out this weekend.  It was directed by an amours Italian director and he knows his stuff.  Acting, scenery, dialogue, and history are all so well done, so it is not so much a movie about religion as it is about the indomitable spirit of a woman in a man’s world filled with prejudice against the role of women in a world ruled by men in both church and secular New York City politics.  Cabrini refused to give in to any physical or political limitations.  This year’s Oscars were just announced.  This movie will be up for next year in several categories. At the end the mayor says to Cabrini, “You would have made a good man.”  She answers, “No. You could not do what we did.”  And the voice over ends with the NYT obit, “What kind of world do you want it to be and what are you willing to do to make it so?”
