Never Let Me Go

Today, I went right from work to meet Allie at the Landmark to finally see NEVER LET ME GO.

I hadn’t read the novel the movie is based on, but even before the film was released, I knew mostly what it was about, so I knew it was going to be depressing as hell.  It was. It was also beautiful, and made me really think about how we value life, our own and that of others.  The cast was incredible, Carey Mulligan is beautiful and so talented, Kiera Knightly really impressed me, and well, I’m now totally in love with Andrew Garfield.  Two movies in and I’m on that train for sure.  I’ll totally go see him in that Spiderman reboot even though I couldn’t care less about comic books or movies based on comic books.

Now, I’m checking my email, reading through my google feed and decompressing after the emotionally exhausting experience of being pulled into a film like Never Let Me Go.  It makes me want to go live in England.

Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately, I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed so I find that stepping back a bit helps keep me grounded.

Do you feel emotionally involved in movies? What’s your favorite movie?
