Synopsis: Sisters are meant to always be there for each other, or are they? In the
glare of reality, clashing views and acts of betrayal can work to form
unbridgeable gaps, and the fabric of sisterly love must be delicately
rewoven from whole cloth. Reel Life charts the story of redheaded
sisters Betty and Jamie, who must call upon the past to forge a new and
meaningful connection for the future. With iconic moments of
contemporary cinema driving the narrative thread, this absorbing work
will cut straight to the heart and reveal the intricate, complex
emotions that come together to form a family. Exploring themes of
motherhood, body image, ambition and love, this tender, deeply affecting
tale of two sisters offers a poignant close-up of this most intimate of
relationships, which can both haunt and heal. Surging with drama that
is interlaced with subtle irony, Reel Life illuminates how, sometimes,
escaping reality can be the clearest path to emotional truth.
Reel Life is about a set of sisters who come from the same dysfunctional family unit. Lets be honest, if your family is not somewhat dysfunctional you do not have a real family! The sisters, Betty and Jamie, are and will continuously be butting heads. The one thing that draws them together is the movies. While some sisters are similar, these two were total opposites. Jamie is an architect who sadly is infertile. Betty on the other hand has many children and it seems at times rubs it in her sisters face. As most family does, when one needs help it is undeniable to offer it. Townsend captured what it was like for sisters, even ones who are literally across the world from one another.
Although this does not really go with the book, I love this song and it reminded me of the ups and downs Jamie and Betty faced!
