I had such a wonderful day today. I went to Alki, sunbathed, enjoyed neverending beautiful views. I enjoyed my quality time with marvelous friends. It was so rejuvenating!
Then I dragged my friends to see a movie I've been dying to watch, "The Kids Are All Right," directed by Lisa Cholodenko. I really thought it would be interesting and different; also it received amazing reviews, sparking my interest further.
So we sneaked into the movie, something I've never done myself, and the adrenaline rush added to the excitement. But the movie, oh my, it pulled my heartstrings like nothing I have ever experienced before in a film. It really was unique. It wasn't just about an unconventional family. It was about life. Life as a teenager trying to figure out who you are. Life in a marriage. Life. I could connect to the film in so many ways. I really was touched. At times the sex scenes went too far, but the humor and drama played so well together that I can barely describe what kind of movie it was. It shared both the qualities of a drama and comedy, without really mixing either of them. It really captured the awkwardness of life without being awkward itself. It was just really good art.
So go see it, it might seem unusual, but it really has something special too it that is hard to describe without actually watching at the theatre yourself.
