It received negative reviews from critics and was a box office bomb, grossing $16.08 million against its $30 million budget. The film was released on Februby STXfilms. Principal photography began on September 14, 2015, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The film stars Gary Oldman, Asa Butterfield, Britt Robertson, and Carla Gugino, and follows a teenage boy, born on Mars, who travels to Earth. More importantly, I am grateful to have watched it with my daughter for whom I am absolutely certain, no matter where life takes her, there will be no space between us.The Space Between Us is a 2017 American romantic science fiction film directed by Peter Chelsom and written by Allan Loeb, from a story by Stewart Schill, Richard Barton Lewis, and Loeb. I would like to thank the cold that put life on hold and allowed me to watch this movie.
“No space between us ~ I am my mother’s daughter”, I thought that this was wrong, until I realized it was oh so right. I am not a perfect mother but it is my blood (sweat and tears) that courses through my children’s veins and for that, I am proud. I am proud to be my mother’s daughter with all her strengths and weaknesses, it is her blood that courses through my veins, and I am proud.
THE SPACE IN BETWEEN MOVIE MOVIE
It has been several months since I saw the movie and have mulled over its message. If there is “no space between us”, does that mean she is not her own person? Is she not living her own life?” In the end she writes about “being her mother’s daughter ~ there is no space between us.”Īt first I struggled with this concept because as a parent we worry about our children’s development and independence, “when to push them… when to back them”. The movie is narrated by the daughter as she writes her admission essay for college. When the mother tries to reason with her, the daughter stops her mom by saying “I need space.” The aha moment for me was the response from her mother when she says, “There is no space between us!” She tries to shame her mother by screaming at her on the way to their bus stop. You see the end of the movie is a seen between a teenage daughter fighting fiercely for her independence and friendships.
I included the trailer at the bottom of this post…let me know what you think.)īy the end of the movie the tissues were for much more than our runny noses. As a middle age parent, I think I related to every character at some point, even the drunken grandmother. If you have not seen this movie I highly recommend it. I remember saying something like, let’s watch it, I think it’s pretty good or at least funny. I knew that I had seen it before but honestly my recollection of movies is sad at best. Television remote in hand, we found the movie Spanglish about to start. As it made its way each family member, I suddenly found myself home on the couch with my teenage daughter, a shared box of tissues between us. Now, I never could have anticipated being thankful for the nasty cold virus that descended upon my house.
An aha moment if you will, a moment of clarity and understanding. I especially love when life gives you a moment in time that is so truly ordinary and void of expectation and suddenly (or even slowly) it turns into a pivotal moment.
