On Saturday, I watched the movie Marly and Me with one of my friends from college.
Yes, there were some production problems with the film that only a Radio-TV-Film major would notice, but all in all it was a good film. There was laughter and tears, confussion and sniffiling.
Ok, let's set a simple ground rule: when you are watching a movie in the theater and know that it will make you cry — you cry quitely.
There are many reasons for this rule, most importantly so others can hear what is being said in the film. Also, and this one is more asthetic than anything, it is much more dramatic to look over and see a single tear run down someones face. With this said, I did cry in the movie — I am not a totally unemotional person.
I would just like to a watch a movie in the winter-time and not have to be constantly reminded that it is a sad movie or that I could get a cold at any moment.
