Movie #629 ......................... "Eames: The Architect and the Painter"
Movie #629 "Eames: The Architect and the Painter" is about the husband and wife team of Charles and Ray Eames, mostly their work, with a small mention of their films (which I would like to look more into)and a little about their relationship, which I found the most fascinating of the whole film. Becoming famous in that time period, most of the credit has been attributed to the man in the relationship, but it seems he couldn't function really without her --- that she was the creativity behind it all, and yet, she was always in his shadow. She died 10 years after he did, on the same exact day --- and that speaks a whole lot about the two of them. In those 10 years she was able to come out from behind, but the whole week before she died, she kept asking her friend, what day is it today.....as if she planned to die on the exact day that he died so they'd be together into eternity? I'm not sure, but it did sound unearthly and made their relationship transcend time and make it more amazing!
