I just finished watching Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others).
How I managed to watch it on 9 November will remain forever a mystery. But after what happened to me today I needed a serious reminder that the lives of others are often far worse and I really needed to cry.
This is simply an amazing movie.
And for another mood—maybe I can go to bed on a better note—I’m heading out to see Citizen Dog (Thailand) at the Boardman for free as part of the Asian Film Festival 2007.
I hope to also catch the two later ones tomorrow, Sepet (Malaysia) and Singapore Dreaming (Singapore).
Reading movies. You really ought to try it. It opens a whole ‘nuther world to you.

“Reading movies”? I assume you mean, watching subtitled films? If so, I completely understand.

Yes, of course.
