Last week I watched “The Visitor.” This is a film that
involves music with connections to people. The djembe or African drum was the instrument that allowed Walter (the
main character of the film) to overcome internal issues, but also allowed to
have a connection to different people. Walter’s friendship with Syrian “illegal”
immigrant Tarek taught him lessons about life.
One scene that I liked was when
Tarek takes Walter to the park, where a large group of people performs. In this
scene I could sense that there is freedom and joy on their faces, on their
movements. For a moment they are transported to another environment… but when
everything’s over, they have to go back to real life and their problems. This
film has a sad ending but very realistic to everyday events.
