Safe European Home by The Clash

(0 Ratings)

Track

"I love The Clash and I can say I was there from the beginning on The Clash, thankfully. I remember hearing “White Riot” in the skate park days. I would get a ride with the older skaters in their car they were blasting The Clash. I always thought London Calling was one of the best albums of all time, really. When they released “The Clash on Broadway,” I bought it and I had never heard “Safe European Home.” It became one of my favorite songs."

"Jules Dassin’s tour of the London underworld glistens with inky blacks, swirls of smoke, pockets of isolated light, a mise-en-scène broken into Mondrianesque squares, and stunning performances by Francis L. Sullivan, Googie Withers, a Greek wrestler named Zbyszko, and, in the defining performance of a career that ought to get one of those sorry-we-overlooked-you lifetime-achievement Oscars, Richard Widmark, who indulges a brief moment of elation by hurtling a stair railing to affect an incongruous pose of Chaplinesque delight."

Plot is pretty simple (0 more)
Good but not explosive
From the same team as Line of Duty and the Bodyguard series comes this shot series following an Explosive Officer on the Police force. It's interesting and feels realistic in terms of the police side of things dealing with a series of explosive devices are found in London. Good production values but the main plot is quite simple compared to the intricate plots of Line of Duty. It's very short at 6 episodes as well.

Justin Hancock is a guest lecturer at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. He is also a curator for a museum in London which is his new home. Recently divorced and uprooted from Chicago to be closer to his daughter who is studying ballet.

Joyce wakes up in the hospital to discover that she has just lost her baby and she now knows a lot of things she didn't know before. Especially Latin and about European architecture. How could she just know these things?

Then when Joyce leaves the hospital and as Justin is leaving Dublin to return to London, a chance encounter. When they see each other there is an instant connection. One that neither of them can explain, but both of them feel. When they 'run' into each other throughout London and Dublin, but never get the chance to officially meet the connection is stronger. But what is it that is drawing these two closer together?

Thanks for the Memories reminds me a lot of the movie Return to Me with Minnie Driver. Joyce has somehow 'inherited' all of Justin's memories, thoughts, and intelligence, from one simple act of kindness. Can you imagine waking up in the hospital one day and suddenly you are fluent in another language that just a few days earlier you wouldn't even know existed. Seeing people you have never met, but feeling as if you are old friends.

This was a cute story that makes you think about the connections people can have without ever realizing it. This book made me laugh out loud a few times and it definitely made me think about what goes into our bodies at the hospital. This is a great chick-lit book.
