pacificpikachuI saw Where the Wild Things Are on Friday evening, and I feel like I'm still sort of speechless and unsure what to say about it. And I mean that in a good way. I was amazed by how raw, intense, and emotional it was, and how honest. It seemed to affect me on some level I can't even articulate--some strange level that is almost as visceral as it is emotional. I suppose I was expecting something exuberant--somewhat light, I suppose, with only undertones of being profound--and instead it was quite heavy and fraught with tension and passion and pain. It was not gimmicky, there was no simple moral to the story, and I felt it was more indicative of real childhood than perhaps any other film I can think of. It was a bizarre film, and a wonderful one. It was certainly not flawless, but nonetheless I felt like there wasn't really anything I would want changed. I want to see it again, but not yet. Not for a few weeks, at least, as I'm not sure I want to go through something that tumultuous again for a while, as it is sort of strangely unsettling and I feel as though I need to settle again before seeing it again. It resonated with me.
The girl sitting next to me SOBBED through the entire last fifteen minutes. Not that I blame her, but it was a tiny bit annoying, especially because the same girl laughed at just about everything even remotely amusing that happened and chattered to her friend next to her. That kind of kept me from getting as sucked into and mesmerized by the movie as I could have been, as it unwillingly grounded me in the movie theater. Hopefully next time the audience will be a little quieter.
I also saw Capitalism: A Love Story, and that was rather maddening and eye-opening! I found the overall messages of it to be interesting, thoughtful, and empowering, and it gives me hope that perhaps--just perhaps--things can really change so the country is better for more people. I can't really expound upon this, as I don't feel particularly politically brained tonight and don't want to go spouting about political things when I'm not in the mood to be doing that, but regardless I enjoyed it and found it enlightening, as well as entertaining. If you're thinking of seeing it, you should do so! Even if you disagree with some of the points or ideas it presents, I think most people would sympathize with the overall message of the movie.
Tomorrow evening, Nevada Theater is doing a screening of The Cove, so I'm going to attempt to drag anyone along who is willing to come! If you're in Nevada City area, you should definitely come along. It's a downright amazing documentary and deserves to be seen by as many people as possible.
Planning on hanging out with Makayla tomorrow as well, and I have art to do and a project to work on and bird cages to clean, and so on.
LOL, I currently have CC on my chest and the two corgis sprawled out right next to me. So wonderful. ♥
On a silly and totally awesome note, I discovered there's going to be a corgi fair in Dixon on November 8th. I'M SO THERE. I'm going to take a million pictures and possibly squee myself to death. If anyone wants to come and enjoy all the short-legged fluffy-butt dogs with me, you're quite welcome to join me!
Oh, and does anyone going to Yaoi-Con have a room![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scorpio_alice and I could stay in? I don't want to book a room just for two of us, and Aubrey isn't going this year. :/ We'll chip in our fair share monetarily, we're very considerate roommates, don't mind sleeping on the floor (I have these nice, comfy little mattress thingies I can bring for us), and we're fun to be around! Also, we'll bring food! If not, I do have back-up plans, but I'd rather not because it involves rooming with people who have flaked out on me before and can be kind of bothersome to deal with. Just let me know if you wouldn't mind adding two people to your room. We'll make sure you don't regret it at all!
