Episode 48 - Our First Time Watching Sophie's Choice

Billie & Sophie Episode 48

And yes, that's the title of the film, based on a book by William Styron. This wasn't a movie that Sophie picked for us to watch. Just to clarify. :)

Directed by Alan J. Pakula, it stars Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Peter MacNicol and could rival even Shakespeare's most tragic of plays. The story centers around the story of a Holocaust survivor, a Polish Catholic woman, and her Jewish American boyfriend. A young writer named Stingo bears witness to their spiral into darkness, even going so far as calling them friends.

Needless to say, Sophie and I had a lot to talk about, especially the choices everybody made.

***Trigger warning: This episode includes discussed around mental illness, suicide, and the Holocaust. If you need someone to talk to, please reach out and call the national hotline 988. We're happy you're here.
