I like unreal movies... and why not?
I just came back from seeing "The Lake House". You know - that chick flick with Sandra Bullock & Keanu Reeves - where the two lead characters correspond while two years apart.
I know that everything about it just makes you go "huh?" I mean - when was the last time you got a letter from someone exactly two years ago... and continued to maintain that correspondance.
So - I know it's all just a bit wacky. But, here's the bottomline - I like it.
So much in life is serious. Mortgages, credit card bills, dog poop to scoop, laundry (which by the way I have to go do), dishes, headaches, back aches, dead batteries, mean people, and so much more.
If I can no longer believe the things that I used to as a kid -- if I only flapped my wings hard enough I could fly, unicorns exist - we just haven't found them, my teddy bears are real when no one is looking, and just the general "happily ever after" -- If I can no longer have that... At the very least, I want my entertainment to remind me of those things so that I don't lose them.
