inspired by this (for some reason this post triggered a memory of this movie and this era), i remembered an awesome movie for anyone really into reading. this movie is slow, but for anyone seriously handicapped by a reading disorder (totally addicted to reading, like me), i highly recommend it!
there is a surprise attached to this movie that i might reveal someday, i know so many people will be on pins and needles! just watch the movie!
just a quick note about this movie (i keep "picking" at this post!), i think this movie was so overwhelming to me because i grew up with bohemian, anti-vietnam war (really war protesting), artsy parents...(won't go in to their current political thoughts right now, but you can probably guess) who were really into literature, art and education. this movie stems from the sixties era and the people in it feel like family to me in some way. an interesting question this movie asks is why some people write many novels and some just write one, specifically authors who write just one GREAT book. why did they write just one? is that all they had in them? only one great story? were they discouraged in some way, not to continue writing? did they still write? were they not recognized as genius, not successful financially and then had to make a living doing something else? i love and am fascinated by the whole writing process (with all creative outlets) and how some people "make it", some people don't and all those in between.
