...wonder that if time and money can be found to remodel a home, send kids to exclusive private schools, purchase commercial property and run your own business... maybe money can be found for other things," the blogger wrote. "Maybe Dad should drop his woodworking hobby and get a real job that offers health insurance rather than making people like me (also with 4 kids in a 600sf smaller house and tuition $16,000 less per kid and no commercial property ownership) pay for it in my taxes...

...desert with no one to ask for help and no easy way out. Wilson, Brody, and Schwartzman create a compellingly realistic dynamic of brothers in mourning: they give freely but take away just as quickly, they speak like seven-year-olds, they hurt each other by arguing about whom Dad loved more. Anderson’s portrayal of India, with its desolate yet rich scenery, is also particularly adept. In a telling directorial move, Anderson almost incorporates the three alienated brothers, wearing “tilak” marks on their foreheads and flowers around their necks, into the foreign...
