decemberthirtyI just reread my earlier post and it seems horribly disorganized and not very thorough. Oh well. I'm not going to do anything about it now.
The reason that I am posting again is because I forgot to mention something this afternoon. I wanted to talk a little bit about a really lovely movie that I saw recently. It's an Israeli film called Yossi and Jagger, directed by Eytan Fox. It's the story of two young men in the Israeli army who fall in love with each other, and it also follows a few subplots relating to other members of their troop. In some ways it was a very stereotypical foreign art house film, and there were aspects of the story that were predictable, but nonetheless I found it really moving. The story was told very economically, and the whole movie was imbued with a purity of emotion that felt somehow innocent. Oh, and watching those two beautiful Israeli boys kissing in the snow... It was just a good little movie that touched me more than I expected it to.
