Yesterday
Yesterday i went to the movies. I go to the movies pretty often, not as often as i go to networking meetings but close enough! It is something i do with much enjoyment... the networking meetings that is. Ha! No just kidding i meant to say the movies, although i do enjoy the networking too (oh no why did i say it? Now i have to explain myself and convice you that i do enjoy going) but i do, really.
I went to the advance screening of a movie called "Yesterday". It caught my attention for several reasons one of which was the fact that it was the first Oscar nomination South Africa received. The other reason was because of it's poster... what can i do, yes i am one of those who judges books by their covers and films by their posters, fine i'll just say it!
I had read nothing about it other than a few lines while putting it on the website, so really i wasn't even sure if it was in english although i had a feeling it wasn't. We go to the Tower Theater on 9th & 9th stand out in the cold for a little while... the standing in line doesn't really bother me, i think it just adds to the entire experience! I love to eavesdrop and analyze the people around me, i'm just a very curious person.
In front of me stood a red-haired girl. She wasn't talking to anyone or reading anything, she was standing there... like me probably analyzing the person in front of her and not realizing that someone behind her was doing the same to her. Oooh you know what i just thought? Imagine if the person behind me is writting in their blogs about me?!! Ha! But no i'm safe i was listening to their conversation and they were too busy talking about the guy at work who asked another girl at work out on a date... moving on... the girl with the red hair carried a backpack, but unlike all other backpack this one was transparent. One would think that she'd keep it nice and tidy, but oh no! It was so full of stuff.
She was a smoker, carried a pack of Malboro light and had two lighters one red and one yellow, strategically placed one in each side pocket. Finding your lighter when you need to smoke must be like trying to find a pen when you need to write! She also carried a little white container with a red lid with no labels on it, but i would assume it's lotion... then, like all other purses hers was filled with candy wrappers and sales receipts... she carried with her several other little bags like mesh bags, but these weren't transparent which in my mind defeats the purpose of caring a transparent bag in the first place!
Anyhow, there's only so much standing in line in the cold i can take in order to add to the 'experience', after a while i'm thinking bad thoughts.
The movie was good. I'll give it three out of five stars. It had a powerful message, it was somewhat shocking to me, and filled with emotions. - Sometimes the portrayal was so real, and the director managed to capture village life so excellently. I thought that at times it was a bit too slow, but then again that added to the intensity of her hardships and just gave it more life.
