There's No Place Like ... Howard's End? 🎥🌈🏡📕🎬

Howards End (1992)

I recently read and watched 'Howard's End' for the first time in my life, only because it was one of those '1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die' books and that's where I was up to in chronological order going forward through the 1001 books book.

I must admit that I normally would have had zero interest in reading or watching any E.M. Forster books or movies based on his books if I hadn't had been reading the 1001 books book.  

'Room with a View' is still my favorite book of Forster's out of the two I have read, so far, but I did find 'Howard's End' an interesting contemplation of what the idea of a home means to various people and in various times.

This novel came out in 1910, before the two big wars that were about to hit the planet, and just as the motor car was replacing the horse.

Also, the film stars Anthony Hopkins as Henry Wilcox and Anthony just lost his home in the recent LA fires, which I couldn't help thinking about as I watched him play Henry Wilcox in that movie.

And of course, Jamie Lee Curtis lost her house to the LA fires, as well ... not that she was in 'Howard's End' ... but she was in Jake Kotze's 'Psyncho' alongside Anthony.
