...They did. I haven't seen it for a while, so I don't know what the situation is at the moment. I did go up a couple of times before we moved [to Wales] and planted and gardened it. I turned her grave into a sort of flower bed. I went up there and it was hard to find it. A stranger looked at me and said, "oh, if you're looking for the Plath grave, it's over there." I hadn't said anything. I realize that it's a tourist attraction. I really find that very, very...
...even heard of the film until that morning when a screed about it came on the radio, so I was able to nod darkly with the rest of the shoppers, savoring a moment of public accord so rare in Tehran. Everywhere else I went, from the dentist to the flower shop, Iranians buzzed with resentment at the film's depictions of Persians, adamant that the movie was secretly funded by the U.S. government to prepare Americans for going to war against Iran. "Otherwise why now, if not to turn their people against us?" demanded an elderly lady buying tuberoses...
...absorbing excess wind and water, are being clear-cut to make mulch, the soil stabilizer found in many gardens. Removing these trees could aggravate the impact of the next big storm.

Robert Norton, 37, has always buzzed from job to job to make a living. His father, a Marine helicopter pilot, died in Vietnam months before Norton's birth to a Japanese mother, who passed away when he was 19. It took him eight years to work his way through college. He has guided Japanese tourists in Hawaii, sold chocolate in Jamaica, exported sea urchins from Maine, managed real estate...
...film plunges into an aggressive war between the mainlanders and islanders, but McCrudden fails to maintain that momentum. Moreover, the cinematography lacks inspiration. Many of the shots border on cliché: Cole pushing his daughter Sara on the swings to illustrate his former idyllic life; a blooming flower to symbolize rebirth; Cole’s constant, brooding face looking out to the ocean. Despite the lackluster storyboarding, shining performances from Tom Hildreth (Cole) and Amy Jo Johnson (Cole’s wife Cheryl) rescue the film from future obscurity. Hildreth, a Maine native, also co-wrote the screenplay with McCrudden...
