One should remember that the only movie I paid full price for last year was The Green Zone. And now, other than Narnia, I pursued the first of perhaps 4 Matt Damon movies of the year. Go ahead and laugh. I can take it. I can also say that movies here are about a fourth of the price most of you pay. So there.
This one, known in English speaking countries as Hereafter, was "Eh." I hear that's an official ranking these days.
I walked out thinking something similar to what I felt after August Rush. Those two hours could have easily been reduced to about 20 or 25 minutes. At least this time, the characters were a bit more likeable, and one of them was well.. Matt Damon. ha.
The good thing was that it made me remember how real death is for everyone and as I rode in silence on the bus home, the wind from a perfect evening hit my face. It still feels surreal this night--being in Argentina and getting to serve as I do. Only a few days after having returned from a group of people I feel like I've known all my life.
Certainly every moment counts, and I have so much more ahead of me. I have so many dreams, and I want to live life to the fullest.. without missing a second.. being faithful to my Lord. I guess that means I should turn off my computer and finish reading from good ole Clive Staples for the evening. Maybe take into account his words that remind us that we've never talked to a mere mortal... Chau.
