Last night I saw my new favorite film. I haven’t watched an entire movie in one sitting for…….5 years? We get Netflix, which you probably know ROCKS! But we’re so busy and tired all the time, that it takes me and Steve at least a week to get through one movie. AND we don’t watch TV…ever….so that’s how crazy life is right now.
Anyway, we got My Life Without Me and Steve went to bed after 20 minutes. He seriously hates watching anything depressing, violent or sad – something I actually love about him. He had nightmares for WEEKS after Shindler’s List. Anyway, I was literally riveted for the whole 90 minutes – I don’t think I moved a muscle. I won’t spoil it for you, but it’s about a young mother who learns that she is going to die in a few months. She makes a list of the things she wants to do before she dies and then sets about doing them, without telling anyone that she’s sick. The thing that killed me was that her list was pretty simple – nothing like “Go to Paris” or “Write a book.”
The whole film was haunting, beautiful, simple, and gut-wrenching. I dreamt about it all night….please rent it and see it…..PLEASE!!! Oh..and Mark Ruffalo stars in it..(YES!)
In PHOTOGRAPHY news….check out these little snow bunnies that I recently took pictures of!
Gah. Cannot watch that movie since (being a Nervous Girl) I am constantly convinced that someone in my immediate family is about to expire. This week I’m paranoid about my health (without much reason, I might add), so I’d be projecting too much. But it does sound like a good film.
