Wow. Just wow. So many parallels to my own life, falling in love and marrying someone outside my own culture, outside my own race, and the uncomfortable, funny, awkward, and sometimes painful situations that arise when trying to combine two beings that are so different. Trying to bring together two families that are vastly different. Racism, sexism, family duty, tension, honor, loss, pride, tradition, and love are all themes this amazing work of art from Pixar tackles. This film is just gorgeous, well acted, heartfelt, funny, touching, and just awesome.
When it came out, this film was not marketed well, buried under whatever summer and holiday dreck and mindless sequels the other major studios barfed out on us. But sometimes, if you look and listen carefully, sift through the noise and detritus, you will occasionally find a precious gem like 'Elemental.' Give it a chance. It is truly an amazing work of art.
