Films
Last week I had a chance to see lots of films, old and new. Best:
District 9. I really liked its style: documentary, tongue-in-cheek. Some really funny little ‘throwaway’ lines. But it was at heart a story about apartheid, sameness/difference, and human love. Even though they were aliens…Lots of action and violence, but unique and fresh.
Also saw Julie & Julia. Loved the Julia Child part, hated the obnoxious Julie blogger part. Maybe an object lesson in how not to be self-absorbed and mean to your husband. The relationship between Julia and Paul was exactly what I think a marriage is supposed to be – a blessing.
Let’s see – also, Sunshine Cleaners, very good, bittersweet kind of quiet story. And Shall We Dance: better than I thought it would be, helped me to talk/understand about men and what they are really thinking.
Hope you got to see something good. Tell me when you get to school!
