Calendar Girlsを観た。
家族で楽しめるとてもすばらしい映画でだ。
この英国映画は、実際にイギリスの田舎で起こった事実をもとに作られた。
舞台は英国のヨークシャ。
白血病で夫を亡くした未亡人とその女性友達が白血病撲滅のため、資金集めのために自分たちがモデルになり、ヌードカレンダーを作成し、大ヒットとなるストーリ。
The women decided to do the calendar to raise money to help fight leukemia after Angela Baker's husband John died from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in July 1998 at age 54. John Richard Baker (pictured right) was a loving husband and worked as an Assistant National Park Officer for the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority . From the onset of his illness, John grew sunflowers and gave them to his friends and family, hoping that he would recover by the time that they bloomed. Unfortunately, this was not the case, yet the image of the sunflower remained as a reminder of John and a symbol of the group's fund raising for leukaemia and lymphomas. The image of the sunflower is present throughout the calendars. -BBC
