Imitation of Life
a manifesto more than a film. and one of films who propose a profound honest image of life. for its theme, for the grace of performances, for the inspired manner of director to present an universal drama, it is more than a classic. because the need to be accepted by the other, the need to be yourself, the sacrifices of mothers, the tension as reflection of different purpose are subjects for each period. and the great virtue of film is the brilliant manner to present each of them.sure, the film remains memorable for the performance of Lana Turner and Juanita Moore but, in same measure, for the science to explore the details. a social manifesto, it is, in essence, a family story. and the art to defines status of single mothers is one of the most important gifts of this real admirable film.
