Summary: Women and Same-Sex Love
Comment: "If These Walls Could Talk 2"
Women and Same-Sex Love
Amos Lassen
"If These Walls Could Talk" dealt with the issue of abortion while "If These Walks Could Talk 2" deals with the issue of women and lesbianism. The film is again made up of three short films all set in the same house over a time span of forty years.
In 1961, Edith is faced with heartbreak when her lover of fifty years died of a stroke. She was denied the status of family by both the hospital and the family of her dead partner. Linda, a feminist and a college student is outed as a gay woman in 1972. In an attempt to overcome her troubles, Linda and a group of lesbian friends go to a bar, Linda meets butch Amy and as she falls in love with her learns to face her own prejudices. In 2000, Fran and Kai want to have a child but they want the baby to be completely theirs and just theirs. How do they go about it? What paths do they take and is it fair to bring a baby into a world filled with prejudice?
It seems that the film was made as an attempt to help others see gay life as natural and the three segments see to represent this idea; the first deals with the idea of hiding sexuality, the second with feminism and sexuality and the third with acceptance to a degree.
The first segment is the strongest and Vanessa Redgrave gives a wonderful performance. She is able to portray emotion with her face as few
others can do.
Chloe Sevigny and Michelle Williams in the second segment seem to miss the message that they try to convey but segment three with Ellen Degeneres and Sharon Stone are great as the couple wanting a child. This is an interesting contrast to the first short and it made me feel good to see how far we have come.

Summary: A wonderful heartfelt movie
Comment: It's a great, touching movie, but funny too. It really tells alot about the changing views of feminism/lesbianism over the last few decades.

Summary: Inspirational yet scary?
Comment: If These Walls Could Talk 2 made me cry made me think and made me laugh out loud. Each story has its lesson to teach and make us reflect upon. Personally, seeing how so much changed from one decade to another made me really believe that some day things will change for the better....

Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Comment: I thought this was an excellent movie. I saw it many years ago. It was really sad to watch certain parts of the movie.
I really think that EVERYONE should watch this movie to get an understanding about the Gay lifestyle and what they go thru. Gay people want the same rights as heterosexuals... and why shouldn't they have it?
Whats so wrong about falling in love with someone of the same sex? So what? Who are they hurting? So men fall in love with men and women fall in love with women. Big Deal. If it makes them happy and that's who they choose then why not? Who are we to judge?
People need to open their eyes and their hearts and just realize that they're PEOPLE who just happen to love the SAME SEX!
Just... watch the movie. It really is a Great movie :):)

Summary: Love this movie!!
Comment: Now I see what my wife was raving about.
We have indeed, come a looooong way.
I'd like to see a part 3 sometime in the future.
The modern couple(Ellen and Sharon Stone) are hilarious.
Not too fond of "shorts" but overall, this was an entertaining movie
