The Water Diviner

Are you in the mood for a great foreign film about World War One from the Australian perspective?  Look no further.  Rent or buy or borrow The Water Diviner.  Russell Crow acts and directs in this movie about an Australian father who travels to Turkey in search of his three sons lost in the war.  Based on true facts this movie will take you away from your mundane life (no judgement) to an earlier time, more than 100 years ago.  When his boys are young he reads them stories about Aladdin and the magic carpet ride.  That magic carpet, only a story in a book, is as real as anything else.  Great movie.  Prepare by having tissue nearby.
