A film, and a video

As you can see, my title's a bit trippy today, it's sort of like saying "a drink, and a beverage" or something like that. Well, in reality, I will be touching on both of those topics.
Two days ago, I watched the movie, The Class, or, in French "Entre les Murs", or "between the walls". It is an amazing and unconventional movie about a particularly roudy French high school class, and their journey through the 9 months of the school year. The film focuses almost entirely on what happens inside the classroom, and rarely journeys outside, in fact it basically never journeys outside except at the very beginning and at the end. The class is composed of your stereotypical personalities; the boys who are "too cool for school", the girls and boys who are quiet, the girls and boys who challenge everything the teacher says, those who blatantly don't care, and the select few who are quietly respectful and smart. It's a really great movie, even though it's entirely in French there are English subtitles, which are awkwardly phrased and aren't always what the actors are saying (I'm learning French) but they get the general idea.
Here is a video of an SNL Harry Potter spoof that I found. I love Harry Potter, but I just had to post this:


Funny, huh?
Also, I just started a book called "How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone". It's really interesting so far, and it's gotten all these acclaims and awards. It was translated from German, which is pretty cool, and this is only the author's first book!!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend.

Love Always,
