The Lives of Others

One of Liz’s teachers had recommended a foreign film that was currently playing so I decided to go see it with her. By the end of the movie, I had a distinct feeling I had missed something. Liz was crying and many of the other movie theatre patrons had noticeably pensive looks on their faces. I, on the other hand, was ready to get on with my day. *sigh* It’s not that I didn’t get that there was a deeper meaning than the images flickering across the screen. But I should have opted for a one-dimensional film because I wasn’t in the mood to invest that much time contemplating the meaning of life today. Make an appointment next time! *scowl*
