The Nanny Diaries/Spanglish
02:47:00
Having the best of all worlds doesn't always guarantee the best life. Having money, access to the most prestigious schools, expensive fashionable clothes, and gourmet restaurant food does not mean that you are a better parent, a better partner and a better person. Wealth taught us to reevaluate things. To perceive ourselves better than others and to have a lifestyle which is just the second version of life we used to live. You used to go for a walk, now you do yoga. You used to eat rice, corn, and potatoes, now it's chia seeds and kale in your avocado salad. Money takes your time from being the best possible version of yourself, making you engage in a variety of bizarre activities and teach your children that material things and physical appearance are more important than trust, love, and sense of security. From the perspective of a newcomer (a working immigrant and a nanny) comes the portrait of two a little bit disturbed families, which somewhere along the way got lost. A barrage of criticism for the American culture, Western lifestyle and middle-class upbringing. And two really warm and funny movies. The Nanny Diaries and Spanglish.
