I recently happened to watch 'Sophie's choice', the movie that won Meryl Streep her second Oscar. The movie begins with Stingo(Peter MacNicol) moving to Brooklyn, into a strikingly pink house. His first meeting with the Polish Sophie and Nathan, is intense. Sophie and Nathan (Meryl and Kelvin Kline) are a flamboyant couple, flamboyant in their love, who befriend Stingo .They turn into some sort an awesome threesome. The movie keeps one guessing about Sophie's haunting past. Time and again, Nathan's unstable mind dictates the very submissive Sophie's actions.Meanwhile, Stingo turns into a comfort cushion for Sophie. She confides in him her terrible past, what the Holocaust had wrecked and the dreaded choice she had to make. She conveys her past with ease and emptiness. Kelvin and Peter play their part to a T. Streep's impeccable Polish accent is something to watch out for.All in all, Meryl Streep conquered the movie and I was floored. She rightly deserved the Oscar.
