I found the film Carol's journey to be fascinating. I enjoyed this movie the best of all that we have viewed. I found myself amused with Carol and her free spirit. She definantely had a stubborn side which served her well as she endured the difficulties of being in a foreign country. She fought against the conventionalism of the country when she insisted on wearing clothes that were not feminine. She also rebelled as she was encouraged to go to religion school to embrace catholism. I was intrigued by the priest refusing to give her the first communion after the war ended. I wasn't sure if he felt like she did not deserve it because she didn't act like she cared about the classes. I found that an interesting aspect in the film. I thought that this religious part showed that she allowed her American background to interfere with her adapting to the culture. Overall I was impressed with Carol's journey in Spain as she endured many difficulties but found love and support through her family and friends.
