Okay, I been so obsessed with how tired I am I totally forgot to tell you all that I went to see "March of the Penguin" this weekend. Wow...what a great movie. Isn't it amazing what most creatures will do for their children. I took plenty of hankies because I heard it had some really sad parts, and they were sad, although my old heart must have hardened a little because I didn't shed the first tear. What is wrong with me? When I was little me and the family would sit down together and watch "Lassie". Just before it got to the part where it looked like Lassie was going to buy the farm, I would run to the bathroom. See...I thought I was so cool because in my mind, I thought the fam was thinking I had to go pee. But, what I really did was go in the bathroom and cry my eyes out and pray for poor Lassie. When I would come out my eyes would be all red, and although I thought I was being smooth and secretive, they were on to me. Later this became the source of many a joke and topic of conversation at all family gatherings.
Did you ever see "The Red Pony" - I cried
Every "Benji" - I cried
"Old Yeller" - cried like a baby
"You Can Never Tell" - more crying (okay, this is a really old movie, I was not alive when it was made, but it still made me cry).
Okay, my point here is that I really use to turn on the water works when I was watching a sappy animal movie, and that has not happened in a long time. I love animals. Now it's when something bad happens to a kid in a movie it gets me. Maybe my love for animals has been replaced with a strong love for kids. Hmmm....I wonder.
In conclusion (doesn't that sound so Eng. Lit?) I highly recommend this movie and I recommend you take hankies in case you find it much more sad than I did myself. I think it is a wonderful story of love, life, and how these beautiful creatures survive.
Awesome
