Amour

WOW!!! What to say...great performances by everyone. Well done. Very real, It was slow but only in so far as it needed to be artistically. It was emotionally sad, but presented the Idea of death at old age very matter of factly at the same time. It clearly presented the question of what will you do when facing death. Overall really well done on all levels.

Academy Awards

3 movies left to see and then I will have watched all of the Best Picture Nominees!

*Amour

*Zero Dark Thirty

*Argo

I am not particularly looking forward to Zero Dark Thirty so am putting it off, but I don't want to end with it :/ I suppose I'll try and sandwich it and end with Argo.

So far I would say that if it were up to me the Award for best Picture would go to Beasts of the Southern Wild. It was an absolutely stunning movie visually, emotionally and was truly a breathe of fresh air from a lot of the stuff that has been coming out as of late. It was truly a great melding of a child's fantastical view on the world from the words of her elders and the harsh realities of her situation. This film was poetry put on the screen.

So this weekend, the movies I managed to watch were 13 Assassins, Audition, Chinatown, The Bicycle Thief, District 9, Manic, and Jackie Brown. I am thinking Dead Man is next on my list.

I went hiking again today. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed hiking and canoeing and exploring and swimming. This past year or so has been rough. I want to do these things more. They make me happy. After summer I don't know who I will do them with though. Alas, I shall hike alone.
