I can’t keep this secret inside any longer… One of my ALL TIME favourite films is… SOUND OF MUSIC!
There, I said it. Now nothing will surprise you.
Last Saturday I watched 2 films that made my sad and happy hormone glands work on overdrive, each pumping alternately in quick bursts, swelling my arteries and capillaries, turning me into a fully saturated, bitter-sweet sponge of emotion, too fat to move, too tired to speak.
For goodness sake, I never expected to cry watching an Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston film about their dog Marley!! (ok, I didn’t cry cry but I was pretty close)
I am shy to admit how I could SO RELATE to the little cliches about married life. Damn you Hollywood! I am supposed to hate you!
[Please leave a comment and let me know if you think I need to see a shrink?]
If you’ve got a dog (or if you are thinking of getting one), if you’ve got a spouse (or if you are thinking of getting one), or if you’ve got both (but don’t like how it’s going), then watch this movie for a bit of perspective…
I read the book (Marley) but wasn’t really moved by it. Maybe I’m a cynic – it felt almost too good to be true.
I was however, completely awed by 10 Promises to my Dog. Have you watched it? It’s got none of that Hollywood shite and it shook me to the core. There’s a very good take on marriage and relationships in that movie too.
