I watch the Streisand movie, “The Way We Were” at least once a year! Heck I watch every Barbra film and listen to every one of her songs probably every 6 months, but “The Way We Were” is somehow extra special! This time around, I also watched the documentary about the movie and absolutely loved it! It’s definitely on my inventory for my “Streisand must watch list” party within the next 180 days!
I don’t know exactly why Barbara Streisand gets me “feeling” the “Way I Feel” but it works every time just like I was a “robot” on queue! Watching or listening to her (talk, act or sing) or just seeing a picture of her instantly creates a “transformation” in my mind like, I can just imagine, a “fix” would do for some drug addict when they realize that, in their hands, they have exactly what they know will make them feel like nothing else can! Add to that, this feeling is never replicated or even comes close to being “duplicated” at any other time in my existence! So strange but true!
Having said all that, “The Way We Were” is my largest “fix” of all of the huge “Streisand” catalog entries to date! There is just something about her that even as she portrays a “communist” in the movie, it doesn’t diminish my “drawl” towards her in the least!
